I designed this for it to be easy to machine and honestly I really don't understand how 254's system works. Can anyone shed light on that?

There are no screws on the bottom to tension it. We are using 1x1.5 tubing though, if you are planning on using sheet metal I would mount it with screws on both sides. http://i.imgur.com/kGi1xuv.png

Unfortunately I can't comment on how 254 tensions their belts. (Do they use belts?)
