The file 'Printrbot Simple 1405 Y & X Tensioner Replacement 3D Printer Model' is (stl) file type, size is 38.1KB.
My Y tensioner snapped on my Simple 1405, so a Printrbottalk.com member inspired me to design one. I have not had a chance to print this as my printer is out of order currently, but there should be no reason why it doesn't work.
Print at 70% or more infill.
The F and Y represent the front portion, this should be facing the motor/outward. The OrF is just a signature.
The belt holes are angles for strain relief and to make the angle of the belt on the back to be less-sharp.
There are nut holes for nuts, they will still protrude slightly, but should stay in!
If there are any size issues, please let me know. This will remain a WIP until someone can confirm that it fits properly.
Update 16 June 2014: X tensioner added, it is a bit longer than the original but should be ok. A WIP until confirmation.
