Anet A8 Y Axis Belt Tensioner for GT2 Pulleys

thingiverse

I designed this Anet A8 Y Axis Belt tensioner for GT2 Aluminum Pulleys. You will need a 5mm metal plug that fits directly into the 5.2mm hole, still tight enough, and inside the pulley. Check out example links below. You can buy the metal plug at your local hardware store. I found mine there. They are simple parts used to keep furniture together. I printed this part at 30% infill. Don't use less because these parts need to be stable. You will have to print: Screw 1x, Plate 1x, Tensioner 2x. You should also think about printing backup tensioners. In previous versions, I had problems with broken parts. That didn't happen with this new design, but it's easier to have a backup - better safe than sorry.
