Vertical X Carriage (w/ eccentric nut) v2.0
Vertical X Carriage (w/ eccentric nut) v2.0

1 year, 10 months, 3 weeks, 3 days (or 694 days) after installing the Vertical X Carriage on my Tevo Tarantula I present you the **new Vertical X Carriage v2.0)**
After all that time, printing daily, the carriage printed in PLA to be just a prototype, showed some signs that it was giving up.
I redesigned it and added some modifications, improvements and reinforced here and there.
It's the same concept, for the same purpose, but much better!
=====
* Requires few hardware and most of them comes with the printer
* Works with radial fang mount
**List of hardware:**
* 3 v solid wheels (they come with printer)
* 3 M5 x 30mm bolts (they come with printer). One bolt must be no longer than 30mm or it will hit the BLTouch (or just print a spacer or use any spacer or washer you have handy), the other 2 might be longer if you want.
* 3 M5 nuts (they come with printer)
* 2 nylon spacers (they come with printer)
* 2 M4 nuts. You can use the t-nuts
* 2 M4 x 12mm at least. It's OK to use longer, but do not use shorter.
* M5 Washers for fine alignment might be helpful (they come with printer)

**Assembling tips:**
* First assemble the bottom wheel, here is the sequence: M5 x 30mm bolt, 2 washers, v solid wheel, eccentric nut, main body, washer (optional) and M5 nut.
* Second assemble the endstop and BLTouch, if you are using one.
* Now assemble the rest as you prefer.
- I assembled everything to the main body, by last I inserted the 2 top wheels, holding the carriage in place and finally the belt bracket.
* Sequence of the 2 top wheels: M5 x 30mm bolt (or longer), v solid wheels, washer, nylon spacer, main body, M5 nut.
