Print-Rite DIY 3D - Y-Belt Spacer

thingiverse

My trusty PrintRite DIY 3D printer arrived with a Y-Belt drive motor mount that was woefully misaligned, causing the belt to wear down alarmingly fast - just six months of use and it was on its last legs! I considered printing an entirely new mount from scratch, but it's a complex design that requires pinpoint accuracy. Instead, I opted for a more practical solution: grabbing some longer 3mm bolts, cutting them down to the perfect length, and printing custom spacers to do the trick.
