Description

I made this simple remix for M3 screws with M3 nut insets for the aftermarket y carriage plate by Gulfcoast Robotics and similar imitations. This design takes up very little space and can hold the belt very tightly, especially if you use hex bolt screws. I'm using it with GT2 belts, but I think the original design was for the stock belts. It seems to work well enough.

This will need to be used with a y-axis belt tensioner of your choice, which should probably be one of your first Anet A8 / AM8 upgrades, anyways.

EDIT: Added a spacer to make the belt more parallel to itself. The original (in the photo) worked well enough, as is, but I noticed my y motor getting really hot. Making the belt closer to parallel with itself should help reduce the torque.

Remixed from this design for the stock A8 carriage (M4 screws):
