Totally Mislabeled this when I uploaded, THIS IS FOR THE Y-AXIS sorry for the confusion.
Found some of the other Y-Axis tensioners wouldn't accept an actual idler pulley, smooth or toothed. So I designed this tensioner to accept these Toothed Pulleys and these Smooth Pulleys from Amazon.com.
There are a couple advantages over the stock bearings, With these pulleys, they are a single unit which means no more squeezing the belt under tension which will alleviate some excess friction and in some cases light clicking. If you move to a toothed pulley the belt will exit the pulley smoother, this is due to the belt engaging fully on the idler pulley as opposed to just on the crown of each tooth. In some cases, this can eliminate fine chatter in prints.
