Pulse XE X-Axis Tensioner Mod
Description
After having my x-axis tensioner snap in half during the middle of a print, I redesigned the tensioner and printed a replacement. The two ramps where the yellow arrows are have been added to increase strength near the pull force. It was in this location that my original part separated. This will no longer be an issue. There is nothing wrong with the original design, it just needs to be printed with 100% infill to increase it's strength and prevent the issue I had. For this reason I have included both files. Note: You can print this in petg, polycarbonate, nylon, etc. I had peek loaded at the time, so that is why my part looks kind of janky. I will probably reprint in polycarbonate later. Also, I used a 40mm long M3 bolt to set the nylock in place. I used Gel super glue to set it in place. This will greatly help when you assemble the tensioner on your printer.
