Inspired by tension meter inspired by Prusa but with a gauge on both sides, optimized for ABS.

I use it to tune the belt tension on all my Voron printers. Since I mainly print ABS it's been optimied to give the best results when printed with ABS.

If you want to fine tune it for another filament or your specific needs, just change the thickness of the base.

 

Tuning guide: Tune the first belt by any given absolute measure (e.g. frequency measurement with your phone). Mark the tension using a sharpie and the tension meter. Adjust the other belts to the same tension.

I found this method much more straightforward than trying to fine tune all belts by frequency.
