About this model

This x-belt tensioner works with the original right side bearing block that came with the printer, so you do not need to print a new one. It also tightens against the x-axis rods instead of the right bearing block. This is to prevent binding along the z-axis when the x-belt is tightened. Be sure to see the readme.txt file for more information on building and installing.
