Waiting on parts but got most of them

I see a Kinematic bed mount, some CNC'ed parts but I am not sure what the last pic is of the stuff from BQ?

Edit: Ahh, the Hermit crab tool changer, nice!

Oooh, MRW kinematic bed. It's rather shiny looking.

Frame showed up today so let the project begin, i like the way that other people on here have set up their Fastners in the little drawers.

update got the frame built, went together easy the quality of parts makes a big difference on making the frame square.
when i first opened the kit and double checked the Voron plans, the kit for the frame came with lager diameter screws.

the belt that attaches the motor to the drive carriage is so tight that it binds the drive gears
the adjustment arm makes it to tight
the bears that i used in the carriage is upgraded from 3dwest
does belt come in different sizes?
any ideas or is this normal

 

[rich64]

update found part of the issue , should not work on it when i should be sleeping LOL

the lever that puts so much tension on belt is just tight the belt is so tight, that it sounds like a bow string when i set it.

 

[rich64]

update on drive belt to tight, tried several different things but none worked. So now I ordered different size belts.
190 192 194 belts for the printer, wanted to know if anyone else had to change the belts or is it the parts that i order are not to spec.
I'm just thinking it might throw the timing off on the printer.

Update
Belts got here, looking like the belt that works best is the 190mm.
the cnc parts (that I bought) must be off just a little but the belt extra size fixed the issue.

now need to find a good heavy-duty belt from gates to have spares on hand, since I'm not standard in the size.....

now its time to start to move forward with the build
