Topic: Da Vinci 1.0 Assistance

I got my printer about a month ago, and printed out a few things. I had tried to print one of these grocery bag carrying devices and when I came back to check on it (a couple hours in) the thing was a blue blobby mess. I did all the cleaning I figured it required and tried to print a small ring to test. It now refuses to do circles and gives me a weird oval/rhombus type shape instead. During the calibration test it made a rough clicking noise and did not make it to its second calibration point. So my thoughts are that it has something to do with the right Y band (where sound originates) maybe not being tight enough and the slack is making it think it's where it's supposed to be? Any and all help is greatly appreciated, I'm mostly hoping I don't have to start taking things apart.

The right side belt just clicks and will not move to even be able to calibrate properly. The belt also seems more loose than the other two.

Re: Da Vinci 1.0 Assistance

Found out the problem. Ended up taking the right side apart and the plastic bit that holds that metal bar and belts against the case was broke in 4 four pieces, taking the screws out made the whole thing crumble.
