X-Carve Assembly Part 3: Belts and Tensioning

In this quick video, I install the belts on the X-Carve and show how they get tensioned down. One step was a little tricky but I managed to work through the issue and continue the assembly. During the calibration step, I will revisit the amount of tension on each belt.

The low profile M5x25 screw goes in first. It's like a flathead. I think I saw you putting a buttonhead 5x25. That was probably the issue

Put in first screw, on the bottom, then screw in the other one while holding it with pliers
