Description
OK, the tensioner knob is not really necessary - it is more an esthetically aspect for me (look at image 2 and you know what I mean). But I promise you: you will never need a tool to adjust the tension on the x-axis anymore.
See also my y-axis knob here and my bed leveling knobs here
The Customizer automatically creates different shapes, it took the "m6_tensioner_knob_rounded" one.
If you got problems getting the knob in place, simply heat up the nuts a bit (about 60-80 °C / 140-175 °F for PLA) and it easily slips in place.
I have added the original SCAD file with modified start values for easier creating similar knobs.
