UniTak3D Ender 3 V2 Y-axis Belt Tensioner Upgrade for Creality Ender 3 V2 Ender 3 Pro CR10 Mega Zero 2.0 Flashforge-Aquila AURORA-A5X 3D Printer 2040 Profile

If the carriage inside width was just smidge wider the problem I experienced could be avoided, and this thing could be hacked to use the original bearings in the Creality tensioner mechanism. For me, the pulley itself is rubbing on the tension carriage adding dragging and screeching. If the part were better designed, they could give some relief to hold the center of the bearing in place yet leave clearance for the pulley. Or the whole center part of the carriage could be made wider and some thing washers inserted to create the clearance. And this should really be using a shoulder bolt instead of a fully threaded M5 part so the bearings are riding on a shaft instead of undersized thread.

I purchased the 2040 size for my Y-Axis and 2020 for my X-Axis for my CR-10 V3. The X-Axis installed quickly and easily. The Y-Axis would not install correctly, no matter what I did. It turns out that the bolt they provided was too long, and the t-nut did not have space to lock into place. I did have some bolts that were the correct size (M3x8mm) and was able to install the Y-Axis with the correct bolts. Other than the incorrect bolt size, everything else seems to be of good quality. If the right bolts were included from the get-go (and based on other reviews, it probably is for most orders), this is a 5-star product.

Easy item, lower tension to work smoothly

Simple to install and works great to keep the right amount of tension on my Ender 3.

Tightened up the slop in the x-axis and smoothed out the issues I was having with precision with the prints.

I have a Ender 3 Pro and the bed carriage crashes into this tensioner. <--READ UPDATE! UPDATE 9/28/21 : If you use Bigtreetechs firmware for the SKR Mini/TFT35 they change the default bed size to 235x235 instead of the default 220x220 and this will cause the pom wheels on the Y axis to hit this tensioner. To fix this change it back to 220x220!

It worked as intended on my Ender 3 Pro

Works very well. Easy to install and super durable. Should be the gold standard for 3d printers to have pre-installed.

After fussing with the original bracket on my cr-10s for about an hour, I decided to get this and had it installed and adjusted within 15 minutes. Worked!

This worked quite nicely in my CR-10. Its great being able to just turn a knob instead of pull on something and tighten bolts. If you know, you know.
