SummaryI am building a oversized Lulzbot TAZ printer and was having a hard time getting the belts tight with the stock set up so I came up with this. It works by twisting the leaver and causing the belt to wrap around taking up the slack. Then just tighten the M5 screw and done.

Added the mounting bracket for the Y carriage. This uses the same parts as the X carriage as well except for the one part.

I use those to hold my hotend in place and will allow me to swap out tool heads in the future.
Also, the plugs you see in the top are standard ATX mini-fit Jr plugs for quick disconnect of the hotends.
