Y-Belt tension and parallelizer for Anet A6/A8

cults3d

As most of you are aware, the Anet lacks a genuine ability to adjust belt tension in the y-direction, and the belt does not run parallel between the stepper and pulley. Some solutions have already been implemented regarding tension adjustment or using a spacer to make the belt run parallel, but I aimed to accomplish both tasks in one solution. To achieve this, I developed a two-part solution that you can see in the pictures. The parts were printed with no supports and worked seamlessly for me. I utilize the H-frame as shown in the images. Please note the orientation to obtain the correct distance. Edit: Note that the Anet belt is distinct from my glass-fiber reinforced belt. Consequently, I added a version specifically designed for the Anet Belt, which is named accordingly. The primary difference lies in height, with 1.7 mm versus 1.3 mm (Anet vs. glass-fiber belt). Edit 2: A one-piece H-frame-replacement version has been added, which reduces the height by 3 mm. However, there will be no version for the Anet belt of this type because it is recommended to acquire a better belt first before purchasing an H-frame replacement. You will require: 2x M3 nut (spare from Anet) 2x M3 screw (M3x30 spare from Anet) Enjoy your project!
