Anet A8 Y Belt Tensioner

thingiverse

This is a Y belt tensioner designed for the Anet A8 or similar printers. Assembly instructions can be found below. The screw may require adjustment to match your printer's tolerances due to varying frame tolerances. This part functions by pushing against the acrylic frame, pulling the arms through it. A frame support is strongly recommended due to the stress put on the frame. This design has not yet been finalized and remains a work in progress. Size refinement is still required to ensure accuracy. Pictures and instructions will be added shortly. Key updates include: 6-1-19: All file sizes were adjusted, reducing screw size for a better fit, widening arms to accommodate the frame, and enlarging the tension plate to match new dimensions.
