Description

Once I did the bed upgrade by jopereira, my Y tensioner hit the bed and caused me to lose quite a bit of bed printing area on the back of the bed. Here is the link to the bed upgrade -> https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2436602
I really like it. I haven't had to relevel since I made the upgrade.

I designed this Y tensioner to fix this problem.

The Tensioner is based on this one -> https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2021999 by idig3d.
It is a redesign and I used his basic concept but kept functionality with his knob and pulley slider. I went ahead and added mounting holes for the vertical side of the aluminum in addition to the top horizontal. I also made the wall thickness heftier and obviously lowered the front edge where the bed was hitting.

I didn't recreate the knob and pulley slider piece. Just use the Y Tensioner link above to get those files. Idig3d's link also shows his concept for how to put it together and use it. All of that is the same and can be reused.
