-  - Go to Machine > Install Custom Firmware
+  - Go to Machine > Install Default Firmware
   - Good to go
+====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.
