Here is a good example. Sorry for the quality.

So, in a way both. When moving manually, the print head resists movement to the right much more than when moving to the left. I notice the resistance when I am about halfway across the x-axis. When, I have a print going, or anytime the print head needs to move right, I can't tell whether it's a short or long belt issue. I am thinking it skips a tooth or something, but everything looks fine to me with the pulleys and I have tightened the belts. This also causes the shaft to come undone in the sliding blocks which in turn causes the y-limit to not be activated since the shaft is shifted to the right. If I put the print head in the center and home it, everything is smooth. I'll see if I can get a video here.

Hi there, To follow up on this, I am feeling a lot of resistance moving the print head to the right on the x-axis, but not while moving it to the left. Do you know what this might entail? Also, when the print head tries to move right during a print, a loud noise is made, and I cannot tell where it is coming from. I am wondering whether this is a symptom of a belt that is too tight? Many thanks!
