3D model description

I did not make any of these parts.
I wanted a tensioner for the Y belt and ended up mixing these to get what I wanted. I know there are a lot of different versions out there but thought I would share my mix anyway.

===================================================================

The biggest issue was that most frames did not have a cutout for the pulley.
Also, some frames are a single piece and the bridge connecting the sides actually restricts how far the belt can be pulled by quite a bit.

  • Frames: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2747511
  • Plate and Screws: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2738919

You might also be able to use the wedge from THIS Thing (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2306072) to help distribute the force on the acrylic. I already printed this frame (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1857991) so it seemed unnecessary to print the wedge.
