Topic: Solidoodle X-Axis "Grinding" - Video

Was working last night when suddenly the X-Axis went off.  Y & Z work...but
you can't print without an X-axis!

I pressed the "X" axis button to only go one direction...instead it started going
back/forth.

Besides throwing this machine in the river...any solutions?

Thanks.

Re: Solidoodle X-Axis "Grinding" - Video

I've had something similar occur.  My prints occasionally shifted in the x-axis direction and I witnessed the Y-axis belt, on the left side, bind and jam movement.  Throwing the print off.  I investigated an the belt on the left is much loosed than the right.  There is a clamp that secures the belt, but one part is loose and will not hold the belt securely.  I think this may be part of the issue.  PART of the issue.  There are a lot of issues.  Not sure how to fix it.  I have a service request in but don't expect much of a response.
