Fix for X Belt twist?

Is there a fix for the x axis belt 'twist' issue yet? I added a toothed dual bearing idler which has helped reduce the bits of belt being shredded off. However, I still have the wobble in the belt. I saw a github post that this is due to the the holes in the x end that are not aligned (off 1 degree).

So, is there a new x-end-idler STL that has the fix? I dug through the printable parts but don't see any version control imprints that would lead me to believe a new x end has been published.

Which printer is this for?

The post needs to be moved to the correct forum (this is the MMUV2 forum).

Yeah - sorry. Came back to say this needs to move to the Mk2s or even MK2.5 forum.

OK, given the options, I will move to Mk2 forum. Note this was posted originally in the Mk2.5/Mk3 + MMU V2 forum.
