Topic: broken x axis pulley holder.

Half way through a 10 hr print I come to the shop to see a mess and the x axis belt just hanging there. I found all the parts to the broken pulley holder and the pulley and spring. I've got it glued back together. But is there a better one or printable one? Not quite sure what or why it happened. Just in case I'm not talking about the right thing. It is the belt that moves the head left and right. And the pulley that broke was the one on the left. Seems it would be called an idler  I suppose not the drive pulley. Thanks! Oh and my machine is a da Vinci 1.0 aio

Re: broken x axis pulley holder.

It happened on mine the third day I had it. Lucky for me my friend printed one up for me and it works great. XYZ did send me a new one 6 days later. Now I am combing the web for all the parts so I will have them ready when something else breaks. Thingiverse has 5 or 6 different ones to choose from. Even one with bearing supports.

Eek, better get one printed too.
My original still seems ok after 18 months and 150+ hours printing but better to be safe than sorry !
