Why? Cuz it's retro! Hipsters like Bre will show up at your door just to tell you how cool your extruder is.
Actually, belt drive has several advantages over printed gearing.
- gears don't wear out
- backlash-free
- smoother operation
- easier to tightly clamp gt2 pulleys onto the motor shaft
- less friction
This mod changes the motor mount to accommodate belt tensioning and includes a motor-side bearing brace. Mounted on UConduit (shown). I'll be making one for my MendelMax and
