Belt Tension Meter by PF Makes
Stop guessing whether your belts are properly tensioned. The Belt Tension Meter by PF Makes gives you a reliable, repeatable way to dial in your GT2 belt tension with confidence. No more phone apps, no plucking and listening, no guesswork.
This meter measures belt deflection to deliver an easily quantifiable and repeatable tension reading every time. Works on any accessible GT2 6mm or 9mm timing belt and eliminates the need for fidgety phone apps when setting belt tension on your 3D printer.
Tested and confirmed compatible with: Voron Trident, 2.4, V.0, Switchwire, Salad Fork, Bambu Lab X1, Creality Ender 3, Prusa Mini and Mk3. 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 the extrusion channels.
Note: Your printer must have at least 150mm of clear, accessible belt. This meter will not work on printers where belts run inside extrusion channels.
