Y-axis Belt Tension Mod (remix)

thingiverse

Remixed from Simhopp's simple yet effective design, I created a solid backing by filling the hex nut recesses. This allows me to see and access all fasteners at once. Next, I added notches for needle-nose pliers and screwed on a pressure foot that fits onto any 3mm mechanical screw. You should have an extra M3 30 from your kit handy. This wasn't a major rework; just a couple tweaks that I prefer. You may too. There are more complex tensioners available, but this one works just as well while using less material and printing faster. The best part is that it easily pairs with Simhopp's bad-ass front frame brace.
