This is a bolt on mod for the FT-5 that will easily allow you to link the two separate Z motors. Parts used are;
1. 1 760mm GT2 looped belt
2. 2 GT2 5mm Bore Toothless Idler Pulley
3 2 GT2 Double Head 20 tooth Timing Belt Pulley
To use this, simple replace the pulleys on the steppers with the double headed replacements, install the smooth pulleys on the block with 5mm bolts, I used a nylock on the top to make sure they never came lose. Use the spare bolts and T Nuts your kit will have
