im interested on any advice on which type belt construction would the best to use? i have dual y axis motors on the current machine im playing with. currently the belts im using seem to be too stiff. im still learning about construction of machines but some insite would be great. sorry for being vague but im learning.
All of these seem to just use timing belts. There are various kinds of all dimensions.
You usually see belts where you want to move things more quickly… As you can image how a threaded feed would likely slow down the movement.
This is the best I can offer from such limited information. It’s a pdf, remove the .txt extension.

Don’t sell yourself short Jack. If it hadn’t been for you pointing me in the direction of Russ Sadler, I don’t think I’d be as successful at this as I am today. Thank you for being part of the LightBurn brain trust.
