I was having an issue where the 3 wheel belt carriage was twisting with a flying extruder. I created this to solve the issue and have more stability. This was on a MicroMake D1 Kossel printer. I used all the factory hardware and added a few more to complete the setup.
Stock belt holder holes in the middle of the carriage are 20mm x 20mm apart in case you want to measure yours and see if it will fit. You can also do 20mm x 30mm or 20mm x 50mm with this option.
You can get the most the parts from Home Depot. Here is what is needs to complete:
Note** The M3 nuts for the tensioner part are really tight to make sure they don't spin. They will need to be pressed in.
3 - M5 x 25 bolt (Can use 30mm long also) (For wheels)
3 - M5 Nut (For Wheels)
Poly wheels from Amazon - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08QTPCGMR/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1
3 - M3 x 12 bolt (For stock belt holder) (Or just use the factory 3 bolts it came with)
6 - M3 x 12 bolt (For the tensioner on the side)
6 - M3 nuts (for the tensioner on the side)
