My M3 machine runs great but the Z axis belt slowly slips off and makes me start over on projects. I was using a screwdriver to push the belt back into place but I know this will get old.
Any help would be awesome, thanks.

From a side view of the Z-axis mechanism, make sure the pulleys are all in line vertically as closely as possible. Work the mechanism back and worth several times to make sure the belt stays centered on the pulleys--disconnect the motor wires from the PCB first so you don't accidentally burn it out. The belt should not be slipping off.
