Overview
These replacement x-end-idler and y-idler parts have an extra 1mm of spacing to allow for 10mm wide toothed idlers to replace the Prusa supplied 9mm wide smooth idlers.
Specifically, this remix was made to allow the use of genuine Gates 2GT toothed idlers. I purchased mine from Filastruder: https://www.filastruder.com/products/gates-2gt-idler?variant=32673878442055 (make sure you get the "6mm, 3mm ID for Prusa" idler to reuse the existing idler pin).
In my testing, the toothed idlers had a drastic improvement on VFA. While not completely gone, the banding along my Y axis has been greatly reduced.
