GT2 Belt Loop 760mm or 752mm?

GT2 Belt Loop 760mm

Looks like a 752mm loop was used and the tensioner is half-way -- would 750 be too big and cause tensioning to the limit?

You can always edit the 3d files to make the belt tensioner longer, but both lengths should be alright

I just uploaded a remixed Ender 3 belt tensioner to be able to use a 760 mm belt. It uses the original Ender 3 X-axis idlers and a M5x20 bolt.

that's awesome, though the original design seems to use 2 more idlers to match the belt width- so i wonder how did oyu get around it.
you also seem to have changed up some of the mounting design to get aroudn the original design, which also would nice to be shared/commented upon!

Yeah @Chuckles182 your build looks interesting, could you share more details / pictures about it?

Where would be the best place to upload more info on my changes? I’m not very familiar with how GitHub works.

maybe make a discussion post, you should be able to add images and files

if you want to make fork/branches and start from there my personal recommendation is starting with github desktop, least it skips the 'i dont understand' part if you read the fine print(and its easier to read), but i agree with the discussion tab
