I was never happy with the belt mounts in the stock configuration. The clamps seemed to slip and adjusting the tension, with any measure of precision, was also pretty difficult. After much trial and error, I have come up with a solution for each axis and they are both working out very well. I have posted them on Thingiverse: [http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:215340](http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:215340) and [http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:215375](http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:215375). Sorry for the unclear pictures, if I were thinking ahead I would have printed the pieces in different colors. If anyone has any critiques or tweaks, I would love to see!
