Anet A8 Belt Tensioner and Brace Y-Axis

thingiverse

ANET A8 BELT TENSIONER and BRACE Y-Axis We have thoroughly installed and tested the components. Every part fits together seamlessly. The M5 nut trap is incredibly tight. Position the nuts in front of the traps, then use the 30mm screw to draw them in. When the belt is perfectly taut - thread lock can be added to the nut/bolt to secure it firmly in place. Warning - The STL file loads into Cura with a slight tilt. Make sure you "Lay-Flat" before printing. We are actively working on correcting this issue in the future. For now, it can be fixed in Cura.
