Anet A6 Y-Belt Holder

thingiverse

I enjoy designing things and seeing them come to life through printing. That's why I decided to create my own Y-belt holder from scratch. My goals were straightforward: - Ensure height compensation so the belt runs parallel - Design a system for mounting the belt without needing tools - Make it easy to mount the holder - Use the original screws to keep things simple The result is available in two versions: one for an 18mm H-beam and another for a 12mm beam. I printed my holder slowly with high resolution because the tooth profile requires tight tolerances. The belt must fit snugly, but not too tightly, or it will be difficult to install. I don't use the original timing belt; instead, I opt for one that's just a few hundredths of a mm thinner. After several hours of printing with my chosen dimensions, I haven't noticed even a slight shift in the belt. _Edit 16.10.2018_ I've made some adjustments to improve the design: * Reduced the total height by 1mm * Moved the belt holder up by 0.3mm * Rounded the bottom edge for better aesthetics and function * Corrected the belt center for optimal alignment * Updated the FreeCad file to make dimensional changes easier _Printer Settings:_ Material: PLA Resolution: 0.1mm Speed: 40mm/s Wall thickness: 1.2mm Infill: 20% Support: No Adhesion: Skirt
