Hi guys!
I have heard that 3D Printers with belts that are tensioned using springs have a tendency of having artifacts in the print due to the belt changing tension as the motors change direction.
In a attempt to see if there is indeed a difference in print quality, I sat down today and came up with these brackets. For the MeCreator2, you will need to print 2 of them, and use a total of 4 small zip ties. They are designed to straddle the spring tensioner located on the 2, Y axis belts.
