Simple all-metal belt tensioning solution for those looking to remove the tensioners from the toolhead.
[beta] these are untested as of publishing, I haven't received the plates to test yet. The slot for the 60mm bolt may need to be filed down, it is drawn to 5.0mm exactly.
Important: You must choose the correct front plate .DXF file according to the metal plate thickness you use for the idler plates (the hole spacing changes, I've premade a few common sizes). I ordered from SendCutSend, so I used the files for 4.8mm plate thickness because I ordered 4.8mm thick idler plates.
You will need a new front panel, or you will need to cut your existing one to fit. I will update soon with standard RatRig front panel files with the appropriate cuts drawn.
BoM: (per idler assembly)
2 x F5-12M miniature thrust bearings AliExpress link
2 x SI5 bearing joint (female threads) AliExpress link
2 x M5x30 SHCS
1 x 60mm M5x60 SHCS (can replace with shoulder bolt if you'd like)
1 x M5 lock nut
4 x 8x5x1 shims
3 x M6x12 SHCS
3 x M6 T-nuts
Let me know if you have any issues!
