Probably. I used making tape to hold them to the belt. I’m going to shorten the tails when I reassemble the arms.

I’m going to go one step further after disassembly and reassembly and say that @RandomDave is likely correct. The one arm that didn’t have a broken roller had the shortest and best secured tail. I don’t know if there was interaction with the amount of force previously required to rock the belts loose during extension.

With the main topic of the thread, I did a linear rail conversion of my Maslow as part of some experiments, started detailing it in this thread:

Adding to some of the other plotter options in this thread, I made an 3D printed attachment for a mini sharpie that holds it into the spindle when you remove the collet. Not spring loaded, but stiffness of the marker tip seems to be low enough that you can just preload it with the z-axis when you set the zero.

I just used PLA, nothings heat critical, so I don’t think it matters much
