This is a remix of MattyVee's 16T idler base to accommodate a larger and more robust idler.
In his version, you have to use an idler no more than 8mm wide. This version will allow you to use a 10mm wide idler (6mm belt), up to 15mm tall.
I sourced my idlers from Printed Solid: https://www.printedsolid.com/products/ldo-2gt-16t-idler-with-3mm-bore
As you can see in my last pic, the LDO idler is much more robust than the idler called for in the original design.
NOTE: I've included the arm with this as well so you can download both at once. If you need instructions on usage, please visit the original that this based off of.
