Hi Guys!

I have heard from several sources that a 3D Printer that uses spring tensioners have a tendency of creating artifacts in the surface of the item being printed.  So for some time I have thought about making something that will lock the belt in position so that the tension will stay consistent.  This is that attempt.

If you are interested in this bracket, you can find the model here: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2010713

While it was designed with the MeCreator2 in mind, I can't see why this wouldn't work with other printers using the same spring tensioners.

I just installed it today and have not checked if there is a difference in print quality as of the time this video is being uploaded.  I will report the result very soon, below.

Thank you very much for watching!!!
