Belt tensioner for Printrbot Simple 1405

thingiverse

Update Feb 3, 2018 - Installing this on my workstation has finally become possible and so far it seems to be functioning properly without any hiccups during the homing of the Y-axis process. Tool used for fine-tuning the Y-axis tension belt adjustment on the Printrbot Simple Maker's Kit (1405). This accessory was created with a focus on allowing users to easily adjust the tension of the Y-axis belt without having to manually hold the nut in place, saving them from potential frustration and finger injuries. When designing this part, I believed that it made more sense for the thicker section to be located closest to the hotend or extruder, providing added stability and preventing damage to the component. Prior to using this new accessory, I had been utilizing a custom-made piece printed from a different source.
