E3D (Gates) 20T Idler compatible mount for Y-Axis on Prusa MK2.5 with Bear Upgrade

thingiverse

This is a remix of the Y-axis idler mount for a Bear upgraded Prusa MK2.5 to make it compatible with the Gates idlers sold by E3D. I adapted my modification from the changes *motocoder* made to his remix of the MK3 version to accommodate the same idlers. You'll need some 5mm rod to use as an axle due to the larger bore on these idlers. I had some 5mm stainless steel dowel pins from Acklands-Grainger that were too long and a bit tight on diameter - I sanded it down with 600 grit sandpaper to reduce the diameter, cut it down to the correct length (~23mm) with a dremel tool, and it works perfectly. --- * pekcitron's Prusa i3 Bear Upgrade https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2808408 https://github.com/gregsaun/prusa_i3_bear_upgrade * E3D - Gates Powergrip 2GT Toothed Idler 6mm Belt - 20 Tooth - 5mm ID https://e3d-online.com/gates-powergripr-toothed-idler-6mm * Acklands-Grainger - Dowel pin, stainless steel, A2, 5mm x 36mm (Item # EBP41KR07) https://www.acklandsgrainger.com/en/product/DOWEL-PIN%2CSTAINLSS-STL-A2%2C5MMX36MM%2C10-PK/p/EBP41KR07
