Anet A8 Y belt tensioner

Upon a month of usage, misalignment issues emerged in the Y direction due to the loosening Y belt. This malfunction was partly triggered by incorrect 'H' plate assembly for the heat bed, as per our initial assembly guided by instructions and Youtube tutorials. A friend later pointed out that we had assembled it wrongly, stating the correct approach was reversed. The designer's intent behind this alignment became evident in perfect Y belt alignment. To rectify the situation, we crafted a tensioner using the 6mm all thread we added during our previous modifications, making adjustments easy.
