Tevo Tarantula Large Bed Glass Tensioner - Remix by BenKitesurfs

Last crawled date: 3 years, 1 month ago

I printed the object designed by kkgian, and it didn't fit. I assume that Tevo has altered the design of the bed from the model kkgian used to design this in the first place. I have redesigned this part to fit my heated bed, which is the 220x280mm bed that came with my Tevo Tarantula purchased in October 2017.
I have included drawings that detail the dimensions of the critical components. Please read these carefully, and take measurements of your heated bed before printing this part!
Also, keep in mind that this part will be in direct contact with the heated bed, and will get quite hot. You must use a high temperature material to print this part, such as ABS, PETG, or Nylon.
The hardware that you will need:
The M3 screws and springs that were included with your tarantula
(4) M3 nuts (DIN 934)
(4) M3 x 10mm SHCS
(1) Sheet of glass, 280x220x3.5mm
To assemble your heated bed with these parts, remove your heated bed from the printer. Slide the printed parts in from the front and rear. Note that you may need to "Push Back" the foil insulation on the bottom of the heated bed to avoid interference with the tensioning devices. Insert the stock taratula screws through both the bed and printed tensioners, installing the springs underneath.
Once your bed has been reinstalled on the printer with the new tensioners, drop the M3 nuts into the slots in the printed front tensioner bracket. The parts were designed to accommodate DIN 934 Nuts (Metric class 10) with a little bit of clearance. Nuts built to a different standard may not fit! Check the dimensions in the attached drawing to verify that you have purchased nuts that will fit!
Thread the M3 SHCS into the nuts, drop your sheet of glass in, and slowly apply tension in all directions with the (4) screws.
