X Carve 9mm Extra Strength Belt Clip

thingiverse

I liked the original thing, but I am paranoid that the belt hook might break during a carve, so I beefed it up a bit. Then I thought the top X-axis clips could be wider to strengthen them, and the Y-axis clips could be attached to the side of the maker slide to strengthen them as well... If you have a newer X-Carve with attached 9mm GT2 Pulleys, you need 6 X 9mm wide idler wheels, and 3-4 Meters of 9mm GT2 belts. If you want to go GT3, you'll need to change the pulleys too, and the garble settings. You can just print 6 of the original beefed-up clip, or one of each enlarged X axis clips, and 2 of each of the enlarged Y axis clips. I printed these at 95% in ABS. Hopefully, they will hold.
