XYZprinting da Vinci Jr 1.0 Y-Belt Tensioner Frame

thingiverse

I made this part for my da Vinci Jr 1.0 because the frame on my Y-belt tensioner was getting deformed on the top part causing the axle for the pulley to be pulled forward on one side. This caused the belt to twist a little. Also I could not tighten the belt much because of this issue. I designed this based on the dimensions of the original, though I did try to add some reinforcements to the top bracket to help with the strain from the belt on the pulley...though I do not know if it will actually help much...I guess it makes it look a little cooler! With XYZware, I printed with supports, auto repair, solid infill (90%), 0.2mm layer height, thin shell, and medium speed. You may need to tweak the model depending on how accurate the current status of the printer is. This part may also work for the X-belt tensioner because the parts look the same though I have not taken any measurements to confirm. The file davincijr_belt_tensioner-thicker.stl was modified from the original to hopefully make it a little more rigid.
