Fully Parametric Wade's-Style Tensioner
thingiverse
Refine the Scribble tensioner's OpenSCAD code to make it fully parametric, allowing users to specify bolt sizes, bearing sizes, and other features for a custom Wade's-style tensioner design. The updated script allows for more column supports, DC motor bolt holes or omission of them, and cleaning hole options. A new version is coming soon with fixes for minor dimensional errors. The script provides output measurements for required bolts, motor shaft lengths, and hobbing placement for MK5 plastic pushers. Feedback is appreciated and the file contains heavily commented parameters for OpenSCAD users with modules for generating MK5 boltholes for motor mounts and hot end mounts. Expect one more version to fix minor dimensional issues. Always check the generated model for clearances between critical parts before printing.
