About this model

This device replaces the two bolts/cable ties mechanism for fixing the ANET A8 x-belt to the extruder carriage. It allows very quick tension adjustments without the need for complicated tensioning mechanisms. This is a ground-up remake of the part designed by BoldBadger that I built in TinkerCAD.
