How to adjust belt tension on the Qidi Plus 4

Note: Also see the increasing belt tension procedure if you're interested in doing that instead.

Belt Adjustment Procedure

This is essentially a mix of the Qidi Max 3, and the Qidi Q1 Pro belt adjustment procedures.

1 - Turn the Printer Off

2 - Loosen the belt tension clamping bolts

Loosen the 8 belt tension clamping bolts on the rear of the Plus 4. See the photos below.

About 3 full turns anti-clockwise on each bolt is sufficient to release their clamping pressure.
