Raiscube X-belt tensioner & Z-axis stress reliever

prusaprinters

<p>freemark's x-belt tensioner is great but the dimension for the hole doesn't fit Raiscube's stock x-axis idler bolt so I designed this from scratch, using freemark's tensioner as reference.</p> <p>These types of belt tentioner is great because it relieve the right side's Z rod from being pulled by x-axis belt, reducing the amount of layer drift (z-wobble) when printing.</p> <p>BOM:</p> <ul> <li>2 M5x35mm or longer to push again the 2 x-rod.</li> <li>2 M5 hex nut to hold 2 M5x35mm bolt in place</li> <li>A new belt because the current one you are using won't be long enough</li> </ul> <p>Print it flat. You'll need to add support but it will make the part stronger.</p> <p>If you are confident in your layer adhesion, you can print it upright. You won't need any support printing this way.</p> <p>Please note that the holes for the Hex nuts have very tight tolerance, so you will need a pliers to force it into the holes. Alternatively, you can use a hot gun or a soldering iron to heat the nuts up when pushing them in.</p> <h3>Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer:</strong></p> <p>Raiscube R2</p> <p class="detail-setting rafts"><strong>Rafts: </strong> <div><p>No</p></div> <p><strong>Supports:</strong></p> <p>Yes</p> <p class="detail-setting resolution"><strong>Resolution: </strong> <div><p>0.2</p></div> <p><strong>Infill:</strong></p> <p>20%</p> <p><strong>Filament:</strong></p> Chinese Generic PLA <p>Gray</p> <p><br/> <p class="detail-setting notes"><strong>Notes: </strong></p> </p><div><p>Support setting for printing on its side is Everywhere, 80</p></div> Post-Printing ============= <p class="detail-caption"><strong>Printed and prepared</strong></p> <p class="detail-image"><img src="https://cdn.thingiverse.com/assets/81/23/18/42/72/20180926_015242_-_Copy.jpg"/></p> <p class="detail-caption"><strong>Assembled</strong></p> </p></p> Category: 3D Printer Parts
