30s Ultimaker belt tensioner

thingiverse

Printing in the middle of the night requires a well thought-out strategy and timesaving operations. The belts on my Ultimaker badly needed some more tension, but I did not had the time to print one of the brilliant designs, available from Thingiverse. I sneaked into the childrens room and sto..., well, borrowed some Lego parts for the 30 seconds Ultimaker belt tensioner. Instructions PROS: ultrafast installation CONS: You'll need children, preferably in your house   (at least regarding the acquisition of required parts). You'll have to be VERY quiet!   If an eye opens - pray. You'd better keep your hands off already assembled   parts your kids built. It's not worth it, really.   This would ruin a complete weekend... For the fun of it, I included an STL model, but it's not recommended to print it. Gähn ;-)
