I loved the original x adjustment, but I found that the idler arm was too thin and would flex inward some causing my belts to slip on long prints. I redesigned the arm in Fusion 360 using simulation software to add stress to the part. I thickened it up until a reasonable amount of stress didn't cause deflections. I added the motor mount that I created for this adjuster, which you can find here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3482414 I didn't change the Idler carriage; if I did, it was only cosmetic. The new part is the Idler arm file and this is the original thing: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2990861 The original thing tells you to get a new longer belt, but this idler arm needs an even longer belt which you can find here: https://www.amazon.com/Gates-PowerGrip-GT3-Belts-1164-2MGT-06/dp/B01DTKVBAA This belt is the new GT3 belt, which is stronger than the belts shipped with mk3 printers.
