If you enjoy my designs, consider purchasing me a beer, (donate) and following me. Please feel free to join the Tronxy group here: https://www.thingiverse.com/groups/tronxy-x1. This is an incomplete part that requires additional prints for full functionality. To assemble this tensioner, print endcap, knob, and bracket from this source: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2020468. I was inspired by the original design at http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2020468 and created a similar working Y-axis Tronxy x1 belt adjustable tensioner. It reuses existing components, requiring only an M5x25 screw and an M5 nut. I'm not familiar with optimizing print orientation, so please stand the part upright by rotating it to match its intended mounting position on your printer. If you encounter any issues, you may need to remove the belt from the build plate and reattach it. This tensioner works well, but you might experience difficulties attaching the belt without removing it from the build plate. I managed to fit the belt without disassembling it. The shaft uploaded here is my original work from scratch, while the other parts can be found at http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2020468. I've added the G-code used for printing this design; however, I don't guarantee its effectiveness for your specific needs. A fan duct for cooling parts on the Tronxy x1 is available here: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2201957. Print Settings: Printer: Tronxy x1 Rafts: Yes Supports: Yes Resolution: 0.1 Infill: 40 Notes: Infill settings are less crucial, but set the wall thickness to 1mm and use a 4mm nozzle for optimal results. Supports are essential; those generated by Cura work well, but if possible, manually placing them without screws is recommended. Rafts are useful, but feel free to experiment with or without them – I recommend using rafts regardless. Post-Printing: You'll need an M5x25 screw, an M5 nut, a washer, and the original bearing used as a pulley. Insert the M5 screw into the bracket, reassemble the pulley as before. Push the bracket into the shaft from the front; you may need to bend the shaft slightly for it to fit. Secure the shaft onto the aluminum beam using three T-shaped nuts; if you have more, feel free to add them. Pull the belt through the tensioner. Attach the endcap and knob with nut pushed in, then tighten the screw. The assembly procedure is similar to http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2020468, but for the x-axis and Tronxy x1.
