Fortunately from reading this forum, I had already printed a part in case the original failed.
This one with bearings works great.

My friend printed one out for me and it works great. The first print was to make a spare X belt part.

if you are not able to get one printed near you, I can print one for you

The belt should be taught and that's it.  Tighter isn't better.

I found it hard to print a replacement when the part was broken hehe. but a friend of mine printed one for me and it seems to work, I have order small ballbearings and going to print the one that can fit those when I have the printer up and running again.

Thougt it was strange that it broke after so few hours =/

I have notice that there are a strange clicking sound coming out of the printer, not alot but little when the X-axis moves.

This was the problem. Anyone else had this problem?
The part just falls apart =/

And I dont have alot of printingtime on this printer. just under 100 hours.
