Hi,
I printed yoshi's tensioner. Then I replaced the part holding the idler by this one (Part 3). This thing is able to hold toothed idlers with an M3 or M5 axle. Just like my x axis tensioner it has a conical mount for the bearing. Because of a crack in my printed part I decided to make it a bit thicker. Because its bigger you can not reach the nuts of the attachted backplate. I recommend to use some glue for the nuts to make mounting easy.
Update: I added a version for 3mm and 5mm axles
