Belt info

Y-axis belt 496 mm

GT2 belt, 6mm wide, 496mm long.  Same as creality (except length is different.)  I had bought about 6 feet as replacements for my Ender 3.  Wound up using some on the clone mini I built as the ones that it came with were pretty much junk.  Recommend getting some gates replacements if you don't want to buy from PRUSA.

RE:

I manage to get my Y axis back up again, after multiple tries.

 

https://help.prusa3d.com/en/guide/2-yz-axis-assembly_196824

Try Step 30 Y-belt tensioning.

if fail, then loosen Step 17 Mounting the MINI-Y-belt-idler.
redo Step 28 Y-axis belt guidance,
then check Step 29 Aligning the Y-axis belt
tighten again for Step 30 Y-belt tensioning.
dont tighten too much 

 

it took me a few tries to get it right.

good luck!
