Introducing myself and a question

Hi!

I´m new to 3d printing, just got the K2 plus combo.

Just after started up the printer, it ran a test, everything went fine, when the test ended an upgrade firmware screen appeared. I upgraded and the test ran again this time an error pop up CA2717 tension belt error.

After searching for possible solutions, I contacted customer service they provided the same solution I found in the web. To print a tool in order to calibrate the tension belt correctly. I asked if i can considering the misscalibration of the printer, they told me it was OK, I wasn´t so sure, but i proceed.

Since they told me it was OK I decided to print a benchy (maybe I was too reckless). The result was good all I believe, just a not so great finishing in the hole of the boat´s bow and some stringing or cowebs I think it´s called.

After this I ran the test once more but this time there was no tension belt error.

is this normal or I should be worried?

I will appreciate any input you can give. Thanks.

P.S. Sorry for my shitty english, it´s not my first language.

I have had that error pop up as well when it tried running auto belt tensioning after an update i never did anything and i haven’t had an issue. I could as well just be reckless and there is some unresolved issues that have not showed up but my guess is a glitch my k2p has 1016 hours on it and it’s such a gem sorry I don’t have any real explanation but maybe you can have a little peace of mind knowing your not alone lol

Actually it give me some piece of mind, found a yt video on the subject and the guy says that also, that some of this belt tension errors was just glitches. I just hope this is the case.

Thanks for your input.
