Today my X-belt tensioner just snapped on my 1.0A
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.
This is rather common, although it shouldn't fail under 100 hours. There are a lot of replacement models on Thingiverse that you can print.

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 =/
If you have it tensioned too tightly then it's probably more likely to break. The belt should be taught and that's it. Tighter isn't better.
Mine broke at about 300 hours but I had printed a replacement before then.
if you are not able to get one printed near you, I can print one for you

Thank you but my friend printed one for me, thanks alot anyway!
I havent touched the tension, it was the one from when I got it.
Mine broke with less than 10 hours on it. My friend printed one out for me and it works great. The first print was to make a spare X belt part.
I printed a tensoiner with ball bearings, alot smoother now 
Same happened here. Fortunately from reading this forum, I had already printed a part in case the original failed.
This one with bearings works great.
