How tight should the belts be?

So I'm putting on the belts for my smartrap. I can make them super super tight or there is one slot looser that is still fairly tight but I fear that I wight have a little backlash. Which should I go with? I don't want the motor or any parts getting stressed due to tightness.

I would say that you may start with "fairly tight" and see if the print quality is satisfying. Otherwise, you may go to "super super tight".

I have switched to "fairly tight" to "super super tight" three days ago, when I started looking for very high quality. And actually "super super tight" may still be not enough...

But for most of the things to print, you won't need it, I suppose.
