@reth
what x-carriage are you using
Jabberwocky mount with 2 belted screws
Looks like there is a new mount for the mgn12h_x mount block
@dusty glacier did you have a similar issue?
Yup I worked with Terrance to design a better mount to hold the belt tension
Do you have said mount
@daring crag
Not sure if the new ones have been uploaded publicly yet
Ok I'll wait then
yes they have been updated yesterday
I tested both the 9mm and 6mm with weights. The 6mm version held up to 50kg and didn't go any higher than that, and the 9mm is a different design, but held up to 40kg of weight. Both should be much better than previous designs that put too much pressure on the Carriage bearing caps.
Link please so I get the correct one for 6mm and thank you
be aware the new design requres longer belts, so you'll need fresh belts if you had no reserves on your old belts.
Ok I do have spares
