I remixed the X-axis belt tensioner to handle the M5 screws and spacing on the Y-axis. It uses the same principle. You use the thumb knob to tighten the Y-axis belt and hold it in place so you can attach zip-ties.
This project requires a slightly longer M5x25mm screw for the new length required by the thumb screw.
**UPDATE: 8/12/2017**
I made a version of the tensioner that has a 5mm thick base to make better align with the position of the belt.
