Here is a render of our tensioning device. Once again, it is made out of sheet metal.
Can you show a more detailed look at how the tensioner interfaces with the frame? I'm not clear on how it's supported.

I've been working on a similar design that requires as little complex machining as possible, as I'm the person who does all the CNC work on the team and there're few things I dislike more than sitting in front of the machine. The tensioning mechanism is one of the few details remaining, so it's interesting to see how others have decided to implement that detail.
