Belt Questions

Postby WhiteB0rd » Thu May 17, 2012 1:38 am

Can anyone provide cut lengths for the X and Y axis belts?

Alternatively, Bart mentioned somewhere along the way that the 2d gen machines would use loop belts..... anybody got part numbers?


Finally, found this http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:23094, which got me thinking about the SynchroMesh Cable it's designed to use. Has anyone thought of using that instead of the supplied belt, pulleys and idlers?

The loop belts are on the BOM now.

Thanks Bart, I didn't realize the BOM had been updated.

Order in progress.....

What do you think of the syncromesh cable option as a possible upgrade? Wondering if it might be interesting for Z as well?
