Anet A8 (/Prusa i3) - Reinforced X axis belt tensioner by 3dPhilipp

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

I used the original belt tensioner (great model!) to improve my print quality.
The only problem with it was, that it didn't survive the pressure of the screw.
I hadn't much experience in 3d printing and no other material like ABS on hand, so I modeled a stronger version of the tensioner.
Update: Another problem was, that my stell rods of the x asix where a bit too short, so the little rods on the cover where a bit too small, I fixed taht now, by making them a little bit longer on the model.
Everything works perfectly and already survived several prints on the Anet A8.
Note: I'm not completely sure, wether it still works on the Prusa I3!
