Description
This is to replace the aluminum Y axis belt connector on my Geeetech I3 Pro C. The idea of drilling holes in a toothed belt for attaching it with screws to anything just seems a bit cheesy. Adding to the cheese factor that belt tension is constantly altered relative to the distance of the bed to either end due to the aluminum mount being too short to allow the belt to be parallel top and bottom... I don't know what to make of the design...
This model keeps the belt parallel top and bottom, doesn't require drilling of the belt, and keeps belt tension even across the entire travel of the bed. It attaches to the bed base using two M3 x 14mm screws and two M3 nuts.
Printer:

.2
Infill:
100%
Filament:
Generic PLABlack
Notes:
I printed this on my Anet A8 as I'm building the Geeetech I3 Pro C, using 100% infill for strength. It prints as modeled without supports and reasonably quickly even with 100% infill due to its small size.
