Creality K1 XY Belt Tensioners Upgrade

This upgrade goal is the prevent the tensioner form tilting by containing it more on the Z and X axes. This will prevent the belt to wear unevenly and increase its life spend.

Recommended Print Settings :

• Material : ASA/ABS
• Nozzle : 0.4
• Layer height : 0.2
• Perimeter count : 4
• Top / Bottom layers : 5
• Infill : 40%
• No supports

Bill of material

2 x M3 x 30mm SHCS screws

Instructions

At the request of Tronix, I've made a little installation guide video, but I need to warn you, my English is more than approximative. So watch it at your own risk 😂 

1. Remove the screws on the tensioners.
2. Remove the covers of the cable race way to make some room for inserting the wedges.
3. Insert the wedge from underneath the stepper mount and slide it into place.
   
4. Push on the top of the tensioner to lock in place the wedge.
5. Screw the M3 x 30mm on its handle and screw it into the tensioner side.
6. Place the plate and add the two screws. Don't be afraid to tighten them firmly even if you ear some cracking noises coming from the plate. It's normal the first time.
7. Repeat those operations for the second tensioner.
8. Put back in place the cable race way covers. 
   On the K1, you might need to cut a little piece of the cover in order to be able to put it back
