Description
We recently installed an Ender 3 V2 in our off-road camper and with space being at a premium, I tried to make it as compact as possible. The X-axis tension adjuster stuck out too far for my linking and would often get caught on other wiring, so I drew up the simple holder you see above.
I was expecting to have to tension the best at the print head, but the first one I printed fit perfectly. I have also included a second version that is spaced out 0.5mm further if you need more tension over time.
I've shown this in use in a video here:

I printed with the rounded end facing up, it needs supports touching the build plate, but quite minimal actually.
