XY-Tensioner/Wood Stabilizer Plate

XY-Tensioner/Wood Stabilizer Plate

Description

Top-plate for the X Axis Stepper on the TOM. I noticed that with all the Adjustments on the X axis tension, my wood began to warp and crack a bit around the channels. Especially around the T-Slot for the left side. This plate should reinforce the wood making things sturdier. Also a tensioner is integrated for making belt tension adjustments without disassembly. This design uses countersunk M3 bolts rather than the stock ones in order to allow a thicker ABS Plate. This will provide more strength with the same height. I liked it so much I put one on the Y axis too. I just noticed there is a similar design here on thingiverse: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:11502
