I had some issues with the new belt tensioner bolt design - the change from inserting it on the bottom to sliding it into a gap (I used V3.6). My nuts didn't fit, either they are slightly larger than standard or my print came out a little small - this is likely as my calibration tests did show inner diameters to be about 1-2% undersized, but they're incredibly difficult to get into to modify after printing, and after you resort to trying to push them in with heat and ruin one, a pain to try and reprint when your printer is in parts! The previous design was a bit fiddly to get the nut set in position but more reliable imo
These either need a lot more clearance to allow you to easily insert of a range of different nut sources or a rethink on the design, I realise with the current design it does need to be tight enough to hold the nut as you tension the belt too.
I know not everyone will have them available and may be too much hassle to maintain a design fork but a version of the parts with heatserts would be fantastic - they are great for 3D printed parts.

Hey, thanks for the feedback! I made a heat insert version some weeks ago, I waited with the release so we could test if everything last long enough. Hr_Raven from my Discord tested these for 3 weeks now. Guess they're good to go. I will add them to the V3_extra folder :) Thanks for the reminder!
