belt
you should really get rid of those steel core belts on your printer.
I went to them to try minimizing stretch over the really long belts and wanted something strong enough to handle high speeds with nema23 steppers. still managed to snap a belt setting up sensor less homing. (gave up on that, not reliable enough for tool changing)
now I have homing switches.anyway. should have gone with gt2 10mm wide belts instead to get away from steel. might redesign.

the best belts are gates.

Have you considered stepping up to 15mm 3GT belts?

@fcwilt didn't know they went that wide. my old printer came with 6mm belts so that's just what i got for this.

some suggestions
gate gt2 12mm

@Veti i can't find a 20T GT2 pully that fits a 12mm belt and a 6.35mm motor shaft. might have to order them for 5mm shafts and take them too the local machine shop.

@JamesM wow were you ever right about those steel belts. just a few test prints and the are broken.
-
I've never used them but I've seen it mentioned many times to steer clear of them unless your printer was properly designed for them.

@Veti I think you must be right about the sagging axes. Or possibly bent. I redesigned my z motion system and now have two motors, leveled the bed the best I could and put 6mm regular belts on it for now. It's a bit better but still has the same problems in the same spots. The center of the bed is usable now so I can start printing the parts for my redesign.
Bigger belts smaller z probe offset and might switch to 20x40 extrusions on edge to mount my linear rails on
