X and Y Axis Belt Mounts with Adjustable Tension



I was never happy with the belt mounts in the stock configuration. The clamps seemed to slip and adjusting the tension, with any measure of precision, was also pretty difficult. After much trial and error, I have come up with a solution for each axis and they are both working out very well. I have posted them on Thingiverse: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:215340 and http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:215375. Sorry for the unclear pictures, if I were thinking ahead I would have printed the pieces in different colors. If anyone has any critiques or tweaks, I would love to see!

That’s a great idea! Nicely done! Are the mounting holes compatible with existing TAZ bed plates?

Thank you! Yes they are, I kept the same spacing.

sweet. definitely adding that to my printer
