Timing belt coming loose on ORD Bot
Posted: Wed Jul 11, 2012 2:13 pm
Hi all,
My ORD Bot has been running well and the X, Y belts are tensioned as much as possible and I'm pretty sure the M5 screw is very tightly fastened as well.
After a couple rounds of printing, I notice that the Y belt coming loose and there are visible backlashing marks appearing in the Y direction. I'm curious as to how this can happen?
I'm pretty sure the belt does not stretch but the printer does go very fast now and there are a lot of high frequency vibrations with honeycomb infills.
Any ideas? Again, I'm pretty sure it's always very well tightened.
