QIDI I-Mate (S) - Improved X-Gantry With Tensioners

Update January 15, 2023

Version 1.3 with perfect alignment of the belts together with Icarus 2. 10 mm rod version pictured below but the same principle. Please take notice of the pulley orientation, see the pictures (new orientation with version 1.3 on the motor side):

The side with the motor, the pulley should sit as close to the motor as possible without rubbing so just 0.2 mm from it or so. 

About

This is a remix of my Improved X-Gantry With Tensioner for QIDI printers with 8 mm rods on both X and Y, commonly used by the QIDI I-Mate and I-Mate S, some of those printers use 10 mm rods though or a mix of 8 and 10 mm so make sure you measure yours first. 

This is for the printed files only, view this for instructions:

There are two different versions: One for 17 mm long bearings (LM8SUU, original Qidi bearings) and one for 24 mm long bearings (LM8UU), common for aftermarket bearings such as Misumi. 

My printer is using 10 mm rods so I've been unable to test this but it should work.
