Summary
This is second iteration of a derivative of Vik's OpenSCAD version of the the leadscrew base. It has been combined with a motor mount and no longer needs the z-tensioner part. The change to this version is to simplify the design by removing the triangular section. This makes it faster to print and solves some problems with slicing in RepSnapper.

Instructions
This will eliminate two of the threaded rods on the bottom. You will also need a shorter belt. It is now a 34"-35" belt. I am using a 35" and the motor is a little over halfway up the slot.
If you are going to work with the OpenSCAD file you will need Vik's mendel_misc.inc file found here:
