Wanted to give a quick warning: There are a lot of tight tolerances at play here, you may have to heat up certain things to make them a snug fit, etc, depending on your printer. THIS MOD REQUIRES A PRETTY DEEP UNDERSTANDING OF HOW THESE THINGS WORK. But as usual, enjoy :)

Make sure to use a strong filament to print the parts. PETg, ABS, Etc.
I went ahead a published this, but A LOT more info needs added. I will add the rest later, I wasn't very prepared to add this to Printables, ( It was meant to be just a GitHub thing ), but I will try my best to make it as detailed as I can given the amount of time I have to do these things, haha

I also had an issue with the PEI, ( I think it's called that, the thin layer used for adhesion ), peeling away from the glass. Instead of ordering a new piece and replacing, I altered it. I took the bed off the printer, peeled off the PEI sheet, and removed the glue. Removing the glue is a royal PITA, so if you attempt to do this as well, be prepared to use a lot of alcohol and goo gone.
Afterwards though, you should end up with a nice smooth piece of glass. Now for adhesion, I use this on the bare glass: https://a.co/d/6tAwpxu Follow the instructions carefully it work very well for me.
I redid the belt clamp system to be stronger for photo listed below, (stock part shown) :
X Carriage and Belt Clamp STL Files.
The system is a little finicky, but it is used to position the belt in the location you choose to allow for better tension across the entire X axis.
