Duplicator i3 Plus X & Y Belt Tensioner

prusaprinters

<p>The engineer in me wanted something, well more engineered for a belt tensioner...something that pulled along the belt axis and was in double shear. With that goal I designed both an X and Y tensioner for my Duplicator i3 Plus. Hardware required is listed below and adjustment is meant to be done with a ball end hex.</p><p>Adjuster Bolt for Both:</p><ul><li>Button head Hex M3x16mm, Two M3 washers and one M3 nylock nut</li></ul><p>X-Axis Fastners</p><ul><li>Belt Pins: Two M4x16mm (if you want to use a nylock nut then use an M4x18mm)</li><li>Mounting Bolts: Two M4x12mm</li></ul><p>Y-Axis Fastners</p><ul><li>Belt Pins: Two M4x16mm (if you want to use a nylock nut then use an M4x18mm)</li><li>Mounting Bolt: Use existing M5x18mm</li></ul><h3>Print Settings</h3><p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong></p><p>PowerSpec</p><p><strong>Printer:&nbsp;</strong></p><p>Duplicator I3 PLUS</p><p><strong>Rafts:</strong></p><p>No</p><p><strong>Resolution:&nbsp;</strong></p><p>0.3</p><p><strong>Infill:</strong></p><p>80</p><p><strong>Filament:</strong></p><p>Polymaker PETG</p><p><br>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Notes:</strong></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>X-Axis tension needs support, none for the Y-Axis</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Category: 3D Printer Parts</p>
