Thumbscrews for the idler tensioner
I made some thumbscrews for the idler tensioner. Just a friction fit to 40mm screws (which you should have in your spares kit).

I just made two thin undersized washers from a plastic film to keep the screws from falling out. The same way electrical screws are hold to keep them from falling out of the lit when used on ceilings.
Have a look at my models on Printables.com 😉
