P3Steel 2.0 Y belt grip & tensioner

thingiverse

This is a Y-belt tensioner for my P3Steel. Use 4xM3 & 2xM4 screws & nuts. I designed this because other models out there didn't fit on my printer's chassis (P3Steel 2.0). Wanted a sturdy but little part, here is the result. Original metal parts were unusable for me as it didn't allow tensioning nor align correctly the belt. I tried some other parts out there but it didn't fit or I didn't like them, so I ended up designing my own part. I love my P3Steel, by far the sturdiest printer I have. A thinner version of the base part is also provided just in case you have lower profile bed base and the part touches the moving belt. You can also sink a bit the original part in your slicer to suit your needs. 100% infill recommended, no air inside a temperature changing part... Enjoy.
