Solidoodle press belt tensioner

thingiverse

I'm attempting to develop a belt tensioner system specifically designed for Solidoodle Press printers, which lack an inherent means of adjusting belt tension. If left unchecked, loose belts can cause considerable backlash on the Y-axis over time. Given that this is a small parts project, some extra effort is required to prevent mashing. To address this issue, I've incorporated a 10-second pause between each layer. Two units will be necessary for each side of the printer.
