Creality_Ender_3 Tiny Tensioner
========================
I needed a low-profile tensioning solution for the X-axis so an enclosure could fit around the printer without a large protrusion on the side. Also, I hadn't ever used Onshape so I thought this would be a good first project.
It turned out well, I think and results in a tensioner that portrudes no further than the bearings.
**You'll Need:**
----------------
3 printed parts (see below)
An M4x25mm Countersunk Head Screw
A matching M4 locking nut.
Version History
--------------------
Anchor V2: Added clearance for M4 Mounting screw at end of extrusion. Allows fitment on Ender 3/3 Pro without removal/fitment of the mounting screw. Allows replacement of screw on 3v2.
