Description

Simple belt tensioner for the mega i3 dual Z leadscrews. I know that the mega i3 has independent dual Z axis, but I've converted mine to using only one because I like having to adjust just one endstop switch instead of two to set my Z offset.

The belt is an open end held together by two small zip ties, so I don't know the actual diameter of it. Seems to work just fine.

This really isn't an upgrade for the mega i3, unless you wanted a belt to sync the leadscrews. Will need to edit the marlin firmware as well.

Edit: I realized that one endstop switch can be split to both Z1 and Z2 endstop inputs, so you can do a dual Z sync belt without having to edit the firmware.
