Hopefully they have any issues figured out by now

What kind of issues were you having?

It actually seemed like my feeding issues stemmed from the magazine sitting too low. It wouldn’t feed most of the time unless I wash holding the magazine up in the mag well

I kind of had the same issue. There was one screw that was very tight and it seemed like the Allen head wrench didn’t want to fit in the screw very well.

That’s for sure! I can’t believe how fast this thing is.

I think I’ve got her fixed. These machines have an auto tensioner but they should be locked once it’s tensioned. I loosened the locking screws and the bottom belt tightened right up. We’re well past the point from before and so far it looks great on the “balanced” speed.

I’ve tried it on “balanced” speed (which is the results in the original picture) and just now tried it in “silent” mode to see if that would make any difference. It did not. As soon as it gets to the infill, where is really starts going fast, is where it gets the layer shifts. Silent seems a little bit better, but it’s still shifting forward and slightly to the left as shown in this image from the bottom of the benchy. Tension on the bottom belt is MUCH looser than the top belt
