Rostock Mini Carriage with Integrated Belt Tensioner

thingiverse

I've redesigned Microcut's belt tensioner to fit seamlessly within the Rostock Mini Pro's belt path, strengthening its overall structure and eliminating any perceived weaknesses in the original carriage design. By merging the two designs into one, I've created a new path for the open-ended belt to close at the carriage itself, rather than threading through the carriage on one side of the loop and relying on a 3D printed clip to secure the other side. Unfortunately, my initial print using default Slic3r infill settings didn't turn out as hoped, and the test piece broke when attempting to remove the supports. Despite this setback, I've since corrected all errors in the merged STL mesh and believe it's ready for further testing - if you're willing to give it a try.
