The X axis belt wraps around four bearings with fender washers serving as flanges. Did you use three washers or just two as spacers between the big fender washers and the bearing? If you only used two washers, the fender washers will be too close together and they will pinch down of the belt. Maybe this is the source of your friction?

If the belts seem loose enough then the potentiometer most likely needs adjusted up. Just adjust in small increments and make sure the motor doesn't get too hot. It should be able to move the axis without heating up above 50-55 degrees Celsius. I have had one time when the axis was tight enough despite my best efforts that i needed to turn the motor up above that, but i put a heat sink on it to keep it down in that range of temperature. Once it had been running for a while and loosened everything up i was able to turn the motor back down and remove the heat sink. Same thing happens with the speed you can print at. When the machine is new it is still tight enough that it is hard to print at full speed without losing steps. Once it has worn itself in a bit then it can be sped up.
