Hi guys,

I modified this for myself but thought others may find it useful too, Its the original X-carriage part with the runner bearing slot/nut trap enlarged to provide greater adjustment.

Matt - nice, we've just done the same thing, but have updated the github yet...

Dario - the x motor is on slots, so you undo the 2 bolts on the x motor, do the belt up tight (in the x carriage), then pull the motor back, and do up the bolts. Last point here: [www.reprappro.com]
Do you need more adjustment than this?
