Gantry drops on V3 Rails when stepper diseganged.

[Tedyhere]

I am beginning to think This may be an issue as I have had my gantry drop to the buildplate numerous times.. it usually takes up to a minute.
Using the V3 rails version. I know the switchwire uses a key reel device to provide tension..

I was wondering if you have encountered this.. I am using a Bowden setup with a Voron Afterburner.

Hey, your axis should not drop ;) Please tension the long belts(not the small looped one!!) until the axle does not drop anymore. Also make sure all parts are still intact.

About the keychain idea, yes I know that, but the switchwire needs that because there is no transmission. With the transmission, the holding force of the motor is great enough to hold the axis up. So please try to tighten the belts more and the problem should be solved;)

I will attempt to tighten the belts more.. they are pretty snappy. It might be Klipper doing it.. after so long it sounds like the stepper motor just turns off.. I will look into that more.
