  • Publication number: 20230407947
    Abstract: Various embodiments provide a timing belt tensioner for a 3D printer and the 3D printer. In those embodiments, the timing belt tensioner includes: a mounting frame, an idler and an elastic member, where the idler is connected to the mounting frame, and a timing belt of the 3D printer is wound around the idler, and is configured to drive a movement mechanism of the 3D printer to move on an XY plane; and the elastic member is configured to connect the mounting frame and a base of the 3D printer such that the mounting frame drives the idler to slide to a balance position relative to the base under an elastic force of the elastic member. When at the balance position, a balance is reached between the elastic force of the elastic member and a tensile force of the timing belt acting on the idler.
