Description

This Z-axis belt tensioner was designed specifically for my Elegoo Neptune 4 Pro, but this model can be adjusted for installation on any belt slinger that has a similar design to Z-axis frame.

 

Parts list (use parametrized f3d file if you want to use parts of different dimensions):

  • 1x 608 ball bearing
  • 2x M4x10 bolts
  • 1x M4x20 bolt
  • 2x M4 T-nuts
  • 1x+ M4 nut
  • 1x+ washer

Print:

  • 1x base
  • 2x bearing-skirt
  • (optional) 1x spacer

Printing instructions:

  • Tune your printer and material to achieve a dimensionally accurate result
  • Use brim on base to prevent lifting
  • No supports
  • Resize spacer height if needed. I ended up not using it and used extra M4 nuts and washers to adjust bearing height

Happy printing without lose belts ;)

I printed several of these and put them on two Neptune 4 Pros. The prints were flawless. These belts have always been an issue due to not having an adjustment mechanism. This solves that, thank you.
