Although this isn't a complete 3D printed item it is an useful improvement for your A6 printer.
Till now there wasn't a X-axis spanner that I liked so I had a look how things are set up on the printer. I noticed that there is just enough room to apply a correct spanner.
I decided to make the fork of the spanner out of aluminium just because its much stronger and easier to make from a 8mm U shaped bar. However it also can be printed
You have to remove the side panel and push back the X-axis bars a bit to remove the roller. Instead place the roller parts in the alumnium fork
Pic 2 is the assembled spanner fork.
Next take the side panel and drill a 3.5mm hole at the given location.
(12mm from the top and 5 mm from the square hole)
Put the belt on the roller. Push the thread through the side panel. Add a washer and apply the nut. Put everthing back to gether and fix the belt again.
For easy operation i added a press fit knob that will go over the nut.
