Lasercut Y-axis tensioner for the Printerbot Jr.

thingiverse

I appreciated Jim's solution (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:40101), but decided to create a similar design using laser cutting to maintain consistency on the Printrbot Jr. Here are the files for my project. I utilized the Baltimore Hackerspace's lasercutter and switched all wooden panels, except the extruder, to acrylic for its aesthetically pleasing look. To implement this, I imported the DXF file into redlaser software and laser-cut it after several passes. The acrylic used was purchased from Home Depot, and required slight sanding of one shaft to fit into new holes.
