Anet A6 Y Belt Tension Solution

Most Anet A6 belt tension solutions lead to warping the front and rear plastic frames, but a clever design absorbs all belt tension forces away from the frame. Two threaded rods carry these forces, with nylock nuts adjusted so that ends press tightly against plastic frames without bending them. I highly recommend trying https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3040358 and https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3041538 as primary mods to elevate your Anet A6 to the next level. Switching gears, after extensive experimenting with bed levelling, I found that bed springs should have minimal tension. Excessive tension distorts the 'H' aluminium underneath the bed, making bed levelling challenging and potentially causing Y bearings to bind. To compensate, a Z end stop adjustment might be necessary. Since adopting this approach, bed levelling issues have vanished. To discover more innovative designs from NevG, simply search for his name.
