Lulzbot Taz Y Belt Tensioning System by dt911

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

As with the x-axis, I found the adjustment/clamping mechanism for the y belt to be a bit of a pain as well.
Requires:
11x 3.8mm M3x0.5 threaded heatset inserts (10 for t-track/sliders, one for endstop actuator)
6x M3 x 10mm socket head cap screws (4 for clamps, 2 for set screws which hold sliders in place on t-track)
3x M3 x 6mm socket head cap screws (to mount t-track)
1x M3 x 50mm socket head cap screw (for adjustment)
7x M3 washers (clamps, t-track mounting screws)
Don't forget that you will need the endstop actuator if you replace the original y belt mount.
To adjust, loosen the set screw on each slider. Adjust tension using the 50mm screw, then re-tighten set screws to lock everything in position.
