Printing: print at 100% infill (seriously) in PETG, ABS, or similar (no PLA)

Model selection: there are two models included - one that fits over the existing belt retainer and another that replaces it entirely. NOTE: I have not tested the full-replacement model whatsoever and it may or may not work. If you print it, please let me know how it goes!

Installation Notes: 

  • The attachment point is 2mm thick, so swap out your existing belt retainer bolts with something 2mm longer (I used M3x14)
  • The model has holes for an Allen key to go through to allow for tightening
  • You need to loosen your belt tension on the one side almost fully. If you're careful, you can install this one side at a time without having the belt move from its original position
  • After installation, slip in your extruder cable and cinch it down with some zip ties

Changelog:

  • V1: 
    • Initial release!
  • V2 (2022-02-22): 
    • Thickened beam supports
    • Added fillet support between beam and holder
    • Added model with belt retainer built in
  • V3 (2022-02-23):
    • Increased height of belt retainer so the top will align with the top of the original - makes visual alignment easier
