Anet A8 Y-Axis Belt Tension Improver

#### Correctly Identified This When I Uploaded,* THIS IS FOR THE Y-AXIS *No Apologies Necessary.* Found Some Other Y-Axis Tensioners Wouldn't Accept An Actual Idler Pulley, Smooth Or Toothed. So I Designed A New Tensioner That Can Accept These [Toothed Pulleys](http://amzn.to/2FXJV8I) And These [Smooth Pulleys](http://amzn.to/2H6dTXy) From Amazon.com. There Are Several Advantages Over The Stock Bearings. With These Pulleys, They Form A Single Unit Which Means No More Squeezing The Belt Under Tension - This Will Alleviate Excess Friction And In Some Cases Light Clicking. If You Move To A Toothed Pulley The Belt Will Exit The Pulley Smoother, Due To The Belt Engaging Fully On The Idler Pulley As Opposed To Just On The Crown Of Each Tooth. In Some Cases, This Can Eliminate Fine Chatter In Prints.
