Hey,
i thought it was time to replace that toothless idlers. This is a modified version of freemark's x-belt tensioner. It has a conical mount for the bearing of the idler.
What you need in addition:
- 1x GT2 toothed idler with:
5mm inner hole diameter
20 teeth
18mm outer diameter
9mm thickness - 1x M5 screw (>16mm)
- 1x M5 nut
- 2x M4 30mm screws
- 2x M4 nuts
for further information read the readme of the original tensioner
edit: added 3mm axle version
! hint: some modern Anet A8 might not have 3d printed parts. Check the remixes if your Anet has injection molded parts !
