This was so helpful!

you have an error in your spreadsheet for frequency you have length as .28 meters as suitable for xxl, but shouldnt it be .5 meters? also in your video you measure 200 mm from the ends but to get a 500 mm distance you need to measure 250 mm from either end

Thanks, you're referring to the spreadsheet posted on the carbide3d community forums? Yep, that should be 0.5 meters as suitable for an XL / XXL long axis and 0.28 for a regular length axis, however, so long as you enter the distance you actually used you'll get the right frequency calculation out, it's just easier to use the longer distance on the XXL. On the measuring out, sorry that's not clear, what I meant was to measure 200mm from the frame end and then another 280mm or 500mm from there. We're mostly interested in the length of the belt segment under test so all the 200mm does is space away from the endplate and minimise the additional pre-tension added when you put the support blocks in.
