P3Steel 2.0 Y belt grip & tensioner

thingiverse

This is a custom Y-belt tensioner for my P3Steel printer. I used 4xM3 & 2xM4 screws and nuts to ensure a sturdy fit. The reason I designed this part is that other models available didn't suit my printer's chassis (P3Steel 2.0) perfectly. I wanted a strong but compact component, which led me to create this result. The original metal parts weren't suitable for me because they didn't allow for proper tensioning or belt alignment. After trying various parts from other sources without success, I decided to design my own part. My P3Steel printer is undoubtedly the sturdiest one I have owned. A thinner version of the base component is also provided for users with lower profile bed bases who may encounter issues with the part touching the moving belt. Users can also adjust the original part in their slicer settings to suit their needs. High infill settings are highly recommended when printing this temperature-changing part, as air pockets can be detrimental to its performance.
