Accuracy is very good. The thing is this tool is not to tell you what the correct tension is but to help you equalise the belt tension for both belts. If you have one belt that is tighter or looser than the other it can cause skewing of your gantry while it's trying to move. There are many opinions as to what the correct belt tension is. I don't personally believe there is a physical number specific to even the model because minor nuances from one machine to the next due to the person that built it will differ. This is why some guides suggest an audio app that will tell you a frequency to try for. This tool will then once you have one belt to that tension equally make that same tension for your other belt. If you have an actual Voron 2.4 Then you would also use it for your quad Z to make sure all four belts are exactly the same tension. I usually shoot for a bass like note. Tight but not to the point where it makes a mid-range or high note because there will be a lot of tension put on the belt during movement in core XY
As a follow-up to your question as well I believe it was in the video showing what I measured at the time I've made some changes that required me to change it slightly so they now differ a little bit
I bought one, it should arrive this week or next week, I was thinking about plotting some data like the GT2 Belt Tension Meter (RC2) project. Do you think you could make a static belt tension sheet like in RC2? Because by having more than one piece of data, we can convert the data into something more realistic and accurate.
@reubertt there was a video o watched recently done by someone else. It focused on the 2.4 Voron and even gave some specific values based on their tool. All good with the science but I've still found little nuance differences either due to build ability of the maker, parts used in some cases not to official BOM It's kinda like asking someone for their slicer settings and then wondering why they didn't give you the same pristine result that person had.
@@CyBerJak In this case, I was just thinking about the calibration test that they ask you to do on the project's Github. In which a 250mm belt is attached to a fixed location and you add weight (they use pounds, I would prefer kg but it doesn't matter) and this way you can discover the tensioning curve. Their DIY version Github is well-guided. With this device it would be possible to have even more precision, my question is just how accurate it is between models.
Any idea if it's wcuratet
What's your value for a voron 2.4
