This is an X-axis belt shim for ELEGOO Neptune 2 series 3D printers.
It makes the X belt parallel to the X axis (gantry) and equalizes the nozzle travel scale over the all position on the axis.
Therefore, the accuracy of the printing is improved.
You can print two shims and install on the toolhead, one is stepper side clamp the other is idler side clamp, under the gantry.
Stepper side | Idler side |

If the belt is NOT parallel to the axis: ⊿Xin ≠ ⊿X1 and ⊿X2 < ⊿X1.
Therefore, the nozzle travel scale is changed related to the position on the axis.
Correct belt parallel to the axis: ⊿Xin = ⊿X3 and ⊿X4 = ⊿X3.
Therefore, the nozzle travel scale is equalized to all positions on the axis.
The stock X belt path of ELEGOO Neptune 2 series is NOT parallel to the X axis.
At left end of the gantry, belt inside the gantry | At left clamp on the toolhead, belt outside the gantry |

It is 5mm off at the stepper side and is 3.8mm off at the idler side.
You can find the cad file on the project GitHub repository.
