Do You Own a Printrbot Simple? Have you experienced x-axis slippage and wrestled with getting the x-axis fishing line securely fastened? Well, this basic belt tensioner may just be the solution. Simply download, print, and slide the fishing line through the gaps in the serpentine structure. This will provide exactly the right amount of tension to resolve the slippage when the machine moves from one extreme to another while starting the next layer. One photo showcases the before-tensioned part right beside the part AFTER the tensioner was installed, revealing a clear difference. The other image aims to illustrate where the tensioner is applied on your Printrbot Simple. InstructionsFirst, explore Thingiverse for inspiration and examine similar creations that have sparked your interest. You may also recall a similar belt tensioner designed for TypeAMachines Series 1. To successfully install it on your Printrbot Simple, follow these steps: 1) Wind the fishing line belt as tightly as you possibly can. 2) Next, print out this custom part (it will still produce satisfactory results even at slower speeds due to the absence of high-speed accelerations that could cause x-axis slippage). 3) Intertwine the belt within the gaps in the serpentine part; ensure the belt stays inside the gaps and remains close to the nuts holding the fishing wire. Otherwise, the piece might get pulled into the motor axis—a critical issue. 4) Enjoy smooth printing of pristine parts right away!
