GT2 belt clamp (Prusa Y-axis)

thingiverse

I designed a new belt clamp for my Prusa i3 Steel printer, making adjustments as needed. The clamp requires holes drilled into the steel carriage for proper placement, so I created a template to ensure accurate hole placement. This clamp holds the belt 14mm below the underside of the carriage. One significant advantage is that it allows easy insertion and tightening of the belt using the central M3 cap screw. Once tightened, the entire unit can be secured to the underside of the carriage using 3mm plastic self-tapping screws, similar to those sold by E3D. The finished product features a flush trim with the lower block's underside.
