Description
These are a remodel of Rat Rigs belt tensioners from the V-Core 4 hybrid printer.
These are specifically designed to work on a a V-Core 3 hybrid.
Unlike the V-Core 4 ones, these mount with T-nuts in the extrusions to allow:
Fitting without drilling the frame
Fitting without custom side plates
Fine height adjustment for perfect belt alignment.
BOM
4 x Rat Rig V-Core 4 tensioner arms.
4 x M4 x 20 countersunk flat head cap screws.
4 x M4 x 6 grub screws.
6 x M6 T-nuts.
6 x M6 x 24 socket head cap screws.
4 x extra F695 bearings (you will also re-use the 4 from your original tensioners)
2 x extra 695 bearings (you will also re-use the 2 from your original tensioners)
Coffee fund
I except no kick backs or royalties from third party companies such as Funssor who manufacture stuff I model and post on Printables.
If you decide to make a donation to my coffee fund (which keeps me up late at night doing more of this stuff) I would appreciate it. There is absolutely no obligation for you to do this. My PayPal account is [email protected]
Please remember to post feed back as it is always valuable to me for future iterations.
Many thanks.
