When adding a dual z-axis upgrade, I needed an easy tensioner. I have a series of upgrades with the goal of making them as cheap as possible.
I designed this to go with the beating pulley linked below, but can be used with a number of others. The height is made to go with the z-axis stabilizers (also linked below) with the printed 48 tooth pulley. I designed it so it would clip in place, so mounting upside down is also possible. This puts the tension pulley 6mm above the gantry.
