Hi there,
I just bought my first 3D printer a creality cr 10. I printed 3 items and now I notice the x belt is damaged. It is damaged by the metal guider on the right. I tried moving the belt to the middle, but it just went back and runs under the sharp edge of the metal. What can I do to fix that?

That's weird, is the belt loose? I had to tighten mine up since I saw it bouncing around inside that channel
For a replacement part(s), I'd check out Tiny Machines https://tiny-machines-3d.myshopify.com/

Re: x belt damaged by metal guider
You can recenter it by loosening the bracket and adjusting one side vs the other. What it is showing is that your brackets are not 100% square to the channel. Pulling one bracket out just 0.5-1mm will make a massive difference.

Whcih bracket do you mean?

Check this....fast forward to the belt tightening

Hi, I checked the video and still cannot center my belt. Looks like the space my belt has is bigger then with the guy in the video.
And to make things worse... I noticed a stretched z-axis base and the z-axis is higer than the printer frame (at least 5 cm).
I have asked to let me return it for another one...

Re: x belt damaged by metal guider
I do not know exactly how the belt alignment on the CR-10 works exactly.
I was having many problems with my 3DP11/3DP12 Hictops the belt would wonder first right then left but would never run true.
Now I replaced the bearing with a pair of bearings with a flange this keep the belt running between the flanges and running true.
Attached is the bearing that I settled on. It was half the width of the original bearing thus the need to replace a single bearing with two.
I know some alignment are difficult though with practice all can be achieved.
