Y Idler Tensioner Remix

thingiverse

This is a remix of just the tensioner from https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1298757. I swapped out the tensioner on this remix, adding a hex socket for a nut on one side and tweaking the width to accommodate two new bearings in place of the originals that came with my printer. The original bearings didn't fit quite right; perhaps other printers came with different bearings, but they didn't work with mine. I opted for F623ZZ flange bearings (two together) and was pleased with the result - it runs much smoother than before. Edit: I also reduced the diameter of the screw that holds the tensioner pulley from M5 to M3. The original length used in my print was 30mm, so I employed an M3x30mm screw with a countersunk head and a nylon M3 locknut - a spare screw that came with my printer worked beautifully. The bearings I chose can be found here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XSZ6JT2. As a side note, these are the same bearings I used in my X tensioner, which is available here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1103976
