Idler pulley bracket for v-slot surface mount

thingiverse

This is a custom surface-mount idler bracket designed specifically for use with 2020-sized V-slot extrusion. It prints in two separate parts that can be easily assembled together. To set it up, simply slide your idler pulley onto the axle (you'll find more details on this step by checking out my other design at http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1745442). Then, align the pulley with the mounting holes inside the bracket and secure it in place using two M2x8 screws. The bracket's back is intentionally left open to make it easy to access the belt. To get the most out of this design, I recommend inserting your belt before attaching the bracket to the V-slot extrusion. Alternatively, you can mount one side first and then rotate the bracket up to gain access to the other side.
