LK1 compatible Y axis belt tensioner

Summary:

I saw the original version of this thing made for the LK5 and saw that no one has published a version of this tensioner for the LK1, so I decided to make a remix of this tensioner.

No additional hardware is needed. Feel free to use the original nut and idler. Maybe use a shorter M5 screw for the "screw" part of the tensioner itself but the screw length won't affect the tensioner travel.

If this needs further improvement, please let me know as this is my first time ever posting on Printables. God bless you all :D

Printed in Overture Professional PLA

Could be printed in ABS or PETG for durability.

Orientation: For the tensioner housing, print as shown in the second photo, flat side to the bed for the cleanest result. For the tensioner screw, print lengthwise with the flat side down for greater strength. For the cap, print flat side down to avoid supports.

Recommended settings:

0.2mm layer height

4 walls

Alternate extra Wall turned on if it is available for your slicer for higher strength due to the infill directly meshing with the inner walls, if not then you can use 5 walls.

5 top layers

5 bottom layers

one wall at top and bottom surfaces for an aesthetically pleasing result

gyroid infill at 20% density

Supports: Yes

Printed on Creality K1C but can be printed on any printer with good part cooling.

I used the screw cap from here.

Also, this x axis tensioner made for the LK4 just so happens to fit the LK1 pretty well:

And the 3D printed thread from here, this particular one is trimmed on the inside providing a better fit for the bearing idler. I recommend printing both x and y threads using this same model if you were to also install the x tensioner.
