CURRENT: There are 2 options when it comes to attaching the belts and installing the shuttle to the X carriage.
PROPOSED: Two options for attaching the belts and installing the shuttle to the X carriage are the shuttle keeper and the belt helper.
shuttle keeper
belt helper
Pros: Less Y travel loss than shuttle keeper.
Cons: Less easy to install the belts than with shuttle keeper.

CURRENT
INSERT THE BELTS Insert the belts, Making sure that there are 15 belt ridges on the inside of the helper. Makes sure you tighten the belt clamps well so the belt doesn’t slip. NOTE: there is no need to pull hard the belts, just make sure there is no slack, if you pull too hard at this point you will over tighten the belts a could damage other components. Next start to tighten the top and bottom screws, make sure your try to do this evenly until you measure 6mm between left and right side at the top and bottom evenly.
INSTALL THE SHUTTLE NOTE: you must wait until after the shuttle is installed before adding any end stops if you are using them. The belt ends should be nearly touching, at this point install the shuttle and tighten it to the carriage using BHCS screws as per Voron Manual. Make sure things are nice and tight before you start to replace the helper. Once you are ready, slowly undo the top and bottom screws evenly. Once there is enough slack you may remove the clamps on the belts and remove the helper. Now adjust your belts as per standard Voron adjustments using the idlers.
PROPOSED
INSERT THE BELTS Insert belts leaving 15 belt ridges showing on each on the inside of the helper. Tighten the belt clamps well to prevent the belts from slipping. NOTE: Do not pull the belts taught at this point, just ensure there is no excess slack. Pulling the belts too tight at this point will cause you to overtighten them possibly damaging other components. Alternate tightening the top and bottom clamping screws, pulling the sides together until you have an equal 6mm gap between the left and right pieces at both the top and bottom of the tool.
INSTALL THE SHUTTLE NOTE: If using endstops you must wait until after shuttle is installed to add them. When properly tightened the belt ends from side to side should be nearly touching. (Approximately one missing belt tooth of gap.) Install the shuttle and tighten it to the carriage using BHCS screws per the Voron Manual. Ensure all screws are properly tightened before beginning to remove the belt helper.
To remove belt helper, slowly alternate releasing top and bottom clamping screws on the belt helper tool. Once belt helper clamping screws are no longer under tension you may remove the clamps on the belts and remove the helper tool.
You may now adjust XY belt tension per standard Voron instructions.

CURRENT: There are a few options when it comes to end stops. Hall Effect is a Voron stands as well as end stop switches. The team doesn’t provide the switch side, but we do have attachment points for and suppose to most common activation arms.
PROPOSED: Hall Effect and mechanical switches are both standard options for Voron end stops. The StealthChanger project does not cover the switch side but does have attachment points and support for most common activation arms.
