The Y belt path of the Anet ET4X has too many successive tight turns and breaks the cording in belts far too quickly.  This bracket is to move the belt over closer to the right side of the printer to be able to eliminate the two idler pulleys by the motor.  This also makes the motor fixed in place and will require a different belt tensioner for the Y axis.  Print upside down and no supports needed.  Just clamp it in place temporarily and ideally use transfer punches to mark the new hole locations for the motor.  The side and back bolt locations I just measured and marked carefully, just remember to offset down by the thickness of the sheet metal.  Be careful drilling to not let any metal chips to get in to the electronics (painters tape can be your friend).  Bolt it in to the aluminum extrusion and the sheet metal.  The new belt routing is basically the same except the two idler pulleys next to the motor are now gone.  The new belt has already outlasted what i was getting out of a belt before this mod.
