Nice minimalist stuff!
If you use two bearings and shift the screws to the other side and make them slotted.. its may even be a tensioner.. throw in two springs somewhere and it could be an autotensioner ;)

printing the rack should be no prob once people design them to the belt size.

Looks great. (There are times I wish I could put more stuff up here)
Will you be adding a capping/retaining plate to manage bearing wobble?

Excellent idea! This would work great for the Printrbot. I'm not the person to help, but making this parametric would make this a lot more flexible.
Any specs on the pulley you are using in the picture?

uploaded a new version - the diameter of the idler holder is thicker so it applies more pressure to the belt. It functions much better!
