I installed @piercet's nice Taz 6 Y tensioner on my Taz. It's a handy mod, and is a lot simpler than mucking about with the stock tensioning system under the bed. But I had the tensioner body break twice on my taz, both time printed out of PC. So I created this version that is a both thicker at the mount points, and also oriented to for printing so that the layers are parallel to the belt axis. I've had this running for about 6 months now with no signs of wear, so sharing here in case it's useful for anyone else. This is based on the metric version, but you can easily change hole size to whatever works for you.
