Repeatable, easy, and quick

When building my 2.4 I was trying to remove as much complexity as possible since it was my first time. Using sound apps may work for some but I have never quite had the knack of mastering it. Rather than hoping it's right or close I decided to spend the money and get this tool. Not having a printer I opted for the printed version. Shipped quickly the tool itself is well finished and works well. After getting to the tuning stage belt tensioning took me less time than putting the panels on. Well worth the price, as now I can check and retention as needed without any hassle. Having this actually makes me more likely to perform preventive maintenance on the machine as well since I know I don't have to fuss with anything.

Great Tool, Perfectly Printed

So first, whoever prints this, kudos. Your stuff is dialed in. Second, very useful for voron setup and tuning. Turns out I was over tightening my belts. I suspect you are too, if you are using frequency and your phone. Paraphrasing Amex, don't print without it.

Awesome

Works great, printed great, it's the first time I've ever been confident that my belt tension is in-spec and even.

Complete Assembled West3D Edition 3D printer Belt Tension Meter 

As of 7/18/2024 these are upgraded versions (v3) with reinforced pins and press fit nylock nuts for the dial, making it more durable and robust than past versions.

 

Note: This is a special West3D edition of the belt tension meter, designed for us by Community Partner PF Makes which makes stylistic changes to match our brand.

This is a GT2 belt tension meter to assist in properly tensioning belts on your 3D printer. Works on any accessible GT2 6-9mm timing belt. Eliminates the need for fidgety phone apps when setting belt tension. Printed from ABS plastic each meter comes fully assembled and calibrated. Includes the belt tension meter as well as calibration wire should the meter ever need calibration. Printed in Ambrosia Black and West Green ASA.

Tested on the following printers: Voron Trident, 2.4, V.0, Salad Fork, and Switchwire. Note: for others non listed printers please ensure you have clear access to at least 150mm of belt. This meter will not work on printers with belts that run inside of the extrusion channels.

Manual available here.
