Interesting Belt Drive Arrangement

Postby hutchcj » Thu Dec 31, 2009 3:46 pm

I was just flicking around looking at CNC stuff and came accross the blueChick desktop CNC. I think it's quite interesting having only the single belt setup rather than the loop. I guess the main problem here would be tensioning the belt.

You can check it out here with a bit of a description as well:

I guess there is more than one way to skin a cat. Must be working fine or they wouldn't have shown it as a finished kit.

I have seen that before. It is like the belt version of a rack and pinion drive.
