**If you love this design and it help you, consider tipping me as I spent a good amount of time on this design. Thanks in advance !**
**Anet A8 PLUS : Since the stock belt is held by the top belt to use my design you'll need to reverse the x motor direction. Either in firmware or by reversing one coil of the stepper motor.**
Remixed Kenneth Jiang version to add a tensionner on the setup. There is a screw ( M3x30 that come with the Anet ) that go thru the body and attach to the nut that with in the tighter.
You install the belt, as shown in the picture and then you tighten the belt with the screw.
I wanted to use the lenght of the x_belt you end up with after the first built of the Anet. It was too short for most of the tensionner. This one fit perfect and you can get the belt pretty darn tight. I ended up loosing it up a bit to not put too much force on the Z axis.
### File to print
- you need one tighter part
- for the body, measure your belt, dimensions are as follow
-- body : 1.65mm toothed groove and 2.35mm folded groove
-- thin belt : 1.5mm toothed groove and 2.2mm folded groove
-- gates fiberglass : 1.3mm toothed groove and 2mm folded groove
### V2
I added a little more structure to the upper part. Also revised the tooth a little They are still pretty darn tight and I have to push the belt with a little screw driver to get to the bottom of the groove. Might be a good thing though, as I definitly don't want any play here.
