Prusa i3 Updated X-Axis Motor and Idler Ends
Description
I Wanted To Update My Prusa I3 Hepestos'S X Ends And I Also Like The Way That The X Ends From The Infill 3D I3Redux Look. Http://Www.Thingiverse.Com/Thing:371842 Https://Infill3D.Com/Home/37-X-Motor-Mk52.Html Https://Infill3D.Com/Home/36-X-Idler-Mk41.Html So I Combined The Current Functionality Of The Hephestos With The Looks Of Infill 3D. Features: 1) Belt Tensioner. 2) Anti-Backlash On The Z-Axis. 3) Opto Sensor Mount For X-Axis Home Sensor. 4) Secure Clamping Of The X-Axis Slide Bars. I Incorporated A Belt Tensioner Similar To The Hephestos Design. I'M Using Opto Sensors On My Printer And Did Not Like The Stuck On Look Of The Sensors So I Added A Mounting Point For The X-Axis Home Sensor To The Motor End Anti-Backlash Is Build Into Both X-Ends. I Added Clamps On The X-Axis Slide Bars To Lock Them In Place So The Tensioning The Belt Would Not Distort The Y-Axis By Pulling The X Ends Closer To Each Other. I Will Still Create New Cable Chain Mounts For The Motor End. As Always, Drop Me Some Comments If You Find Errors Or Have Improvements In Mind.

Update 2015-07-24: Added A Slot On The Motor End To Reach The Pulley Grub Screws
