Creality/Sovol Y Axis Belt Tensioner

prusaprinters

<p>I designed this because I found it difficult to equally adjust each side of the original tensioner. This new tensioner allows you to adjust each side with a pair of M5 bolts at the front, which makes the job much less tedious and frustrating. The puller snaps into the frame, and the bearing pin sits in a groove cut into the puller, which doesn't allow it to fall out when tensioned. The pin press-fits into the bearings, so be careful!</p><p>Hardware required:</p><p>x6 M5x10 Hex screws</p><p>x6 M5 T-Slot nuts</p><p>x2 M5x40 Hex bolts</p><p>x2 M5 Hex nuts</p><p>I used PETG for the frame and puller, and Nylon for the pin.</p><p>I'd recommend applying silicone grease to the slides for smoother operation.</p><p>If you have any problems, feel free to let me know!</p><h3>Print Settings</h3><p><strong>Printer:</strong></p><p>Sovol SV01</p><p><strong>Rafts:&nbsp;</strong></p><p>Doesn't Matter</p><p><strong>Supports:</strong></p><p>Yes</p><p><strong>Resolution:&nbsp;</strong></p><p>0.2mm</p><p><strong>Infill:</strong></p><p>30%</p><p><strong>Filament:</strong></p><p>Prusament PETG, Taulman Alloy 910 PETG/Nylon</p><p>Galaxy Black, Prusa Orange</p><p><br>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Notes:</strong></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Nylon is required for the bearing pin, PETG will most likely deform under the tension.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Category: 3D Printer Accessories</p>
