3D model description

This is the tensioner for the X axis so that you can easily x axis can turn tighter.

You will need a couple screws and nuts:
1x M3 40 mm
1x M3 30 mm
2x M3 nuts

Instructions: You need to get right side of the X-axis almost completely apart so you can remove the original bearings holder!
Decide whether you want to keep the original right side part or print that one ( "X-axis_Tensioner_Frame.stl").

Important: Once you use the original then there is a chance that it breaks because it is not very strong, I recommend strictly to print "X-axis_Tensioner_Frame.stl". I am not responsible if something goes damaged but sometimes the orgininal frame side fits better.

Place the required M3 nuts (there are 6 angled holes where they should), and install the bearing.
Then slide the "X-axis_Tensioner_Adjustment_holder.stl" the right way in and you can then start again assemble.

Once he is back together, you can install it on the printer and put the belt back on stress. when everything is put together, you can now start turning the M3 screw until the belt is at the proper tension a little.

Have fun with print, assemble and use! : D

Be sure your printer is calibrated right! otherwide it will bearly or not fit at all!
