Z-tensioner for Artillery Sidewinder (SW-X1)

thingiverse

I successfully integrated this (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1010672) bearing into my project, making sure to clearly label it as a remix due to its optional nature and secondary importance. Typically, you can opt for metal 608RS instead. Similarly, you may choose to use a different mandrel with the bearing at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:973209. I've attached both the Cura 4.2.1 profile and the g-code directly, allowing you to print the design on your Sidewinder artillery using PETG if your nozzle is 0.4 mm in diameter. Moving the tensioner as close as possible to the Z axis while retaining the bearing yields excellent results, with a noticeable increase in tension achieved by doing so.
