I am building a belt tension meter to attach my z-belt idlers to on my voron 2.4.

I'm still contemplating what I want the final form to look like, but currently it's a 5 kg load cell and a floating idler and an rp2040 reading values via hx711.

Are you looking at alignment too? Huge impact on the longevity of belt-drive systems.

No, I haven't considered alignment. I think they're pretty well aligned already, but honestly haven't thought about it much at all.
