<Note>
  This is a proposed new standard part that addresses printability and strength issues in the current standard belt clamp design.
</Note>

## Features

* **MGN12 rail compatibility**: Slotted design fits MGN12 linear rails
* **Wide belt support**: Pass-through accommodates belt widths up to 15mm
* **Universal thread tolerance**: Fine-tuned threading works with unmodified 24mm female threaded parts regardless of printer tolerance
