Y carriage:

Annoyingly the upper wheels and the belt run at exactly the same height.

Also annoyingly the belt and the torch want to be mounted on the same side of the carriage, a bit more thought could have avoided this.

We have a little triangle-ish piece for clamping the belt ends in plane, and a hole in the middle of the part for a M5 threaded insert, and some vertical square guides for a "Z axis" to slide between.

Will just have a M5 clamping screw with a knob to lock the Z height, and the torch clamp will have a feature that slides in between the square guides.
