The front idler pulley of the Prusa mk3 can be used with this. The silence is so peaceful. I used to hear this old one clicking a lot. I liked the smoothness of this one. Unlike the other reviews on Amazon, this one is different from the other. The print is awesome, but it's only one. The standard Prusa axis will not be indented, even though it is not as wide. I don't know why, but it seems to be working. My life would have been endangered if I were to ship from the Chech Republic.
Replace Prusas with this drop-in. Pulleys like this one are excellent. Prusa models on this platform can be readily replaced by this one. There are two bearings in the middle of it as opposed to one on Prusa, so I believe this may even be better than stock. Since it uses the same bearing, it is of much higher quality than most of the small knock off pulleys on Amazon.
The product works as intended, not obvious As you can see, it is a little skinnier than the stock Prusa idler, which opens up some adjustment room for aligning the belt. On top of that, the belt is laid on a narrower track. Dual bearings keep it from wobbling even when it is moving. I would say that the idler is generally good for the money, but I wouldn't say it's better than the stock Prusa idler unless it were.
There appears to be no play in these bearings, and they rotate I have just under 100 hours of run time on my printer and so far they haven't shown any signs of trouble.
The mounts fit my GT2 perfectly, and I did not have to resize them, so they did what they advertised. There are, however, some gravelly bearings on the wheels. Before installing them, I had to soak them in oil for a few minutes. The rest of the time, I've been pleased.
The part is of high quality.
