Belt Attachment with Tensioner
Description
I Am Redesigning The X Axis On My Cobblebot 3D Printer. I Wanted Create An Belt Attachment For The X Axis To The Y That Also Included A Tensioner. I Could Not Find Anything Similar To This On Thingiverse So I Designed My Own And It Works Quite Well. However I Realized That The Design For This Will Not Work For My Final Design. This Does Not Mean It Will Not Work For Other People So I Figured I Should Just Upload It As Its Own Stand Alone Thing. I Included The Google Sketchup File As Well If You Want To Make Alterations. It Uses Two 25Mm M5 Bolts And Two 10Mm M5 Bolts. The 25Mm Ones Can Have Any Head On Them You Like, But The 10Mm Ones Should Be Socket Cap. You Will Also Need Two M5 Nuts That Are 7.8Mm From Flat To Flat And 4Mm Thick. Lastly You Will Need A Length Of 3/16 Or 5Mm Round Stock 38Mm Long. I Tried To Order The Images In Such A Way That You Can See How To Put It Together. 1. Fit The 10Mm M5 Socket Cap Bolts Through The Sides. 2. Stick Your Allen Wrench Through The Holes On The End And Attach The Block To Your Rail With The Captive Nut Holes Facing Up. 3. Drop The Nuts Down Into The Captive Nut Holes And Make Sure The Threads Line Up With The End Holes. 4. Screw The 25Mm M5 Bolts Through The End Holes And Captive Nuts. 5. Slide The 3/16Th Round Stock Through The Slots On The Sides. 6. Attach The Belt To The Round Stock. Make Sure That The Loop In The Belt Is Large Enough That The Belt Clamp (Zip Tie In My Case) Has Room To Move Toward The Block Without Binding On The Side. 7. Get The Belt As Tight As You Can By Hand. 8. Adjust The 25Mm Bolts To Push The Round Bar In Tightening The Belt.
