 ====Usage Notes====
   * The extruder head may not pull hard enough on filament to allow it to feed properly if the filament is wound too tightly on the spool, such as when starting a brand new spool of filament.  Make sure the filament is not wound so tightly that it won't unspool when the printer is printing.

+====Adjust Belt Tension====
+Tightening the belt is hard, but this is the workflow that I found that worked:
+  - loosen up the screws on the bearing that holds the belt
+  - push that bearing forward so it loosens up the belt
+  - undo the screw that holds one side of the belt, and pull it tighter. You'll have to hold everything in place or the bed will just slide
+  - tighten the end of the belt down
+  - tighten the bearing back down
+  - if the belt is too tight now, loosen the end and let a little slack in until it seems good
+It's a lot easier to add slack back in than tighten it down.
