Hi @MoussArena , I am printing the stl files from thingiverse and the only one not showing is the spacer. The internal diameter must be 5’1mm? I don’t think the thickness is very important, but how long should the length be?
Hello @MoussArena, With your permission I answer to myself. I have designed the Spacer from SketchUp, with the following measurements: 5mm in length, 9mm in external diameter and 5.1mm. diameter of the hole.
I have inserted the M5x40mm screw. next a Spacer, a washer, the POM v-slot, washer and Spacer. The exact length stands out to put a washer and a nut after the Plate and it has been perfect.
I can send you .SKP and .STL files if you want, but I don’t know how to do this
here I am not very good in the tutorial, but I hope that this video will be able to help you to understand the system if you have questions do not hesitate
this can be improved as some have already done like (Code3Smith, osado) thank you to them, if you modify, improve the system please share
What a great project and video, which is more professional than many “real” products! BIG KUDOS!
I hope I find some spare time to build it.
Thx for sharing!!
The three pieces designed by @MoussArena give me trouble printing with quality.
I have found a very simple system to tighten the GT2 belt, which consists of minimally lowering the hammer head nut using a file until it allows the belt to pass underneath. Using an M5x12mm screw, the end of the screw presses strongly against the GT2 and also grips the bracket very well with the v-slot.
Hi @JeffLindstrom . No. I have not. At the moment I have only verified that the fixation is strong, now it will be necessary to see the long-term result, but I understand that it should not be a problem since there is no friction.
If I interpret the G-code correctly, it was done in nine passes (one pass meaning the scanner on the slider going all the way up or down), with a turn of 40 deg between each passes. Or rather 36 deg between passes, if the turntable wasn’t going 360, making the last pass the same as the first one, but (360 deg / 10), thus leaving the last pass undone.
Hello MoussArena . I have a confusion and I am not sure, but if as you propose a pulley with 20 tooth is used, with a GT2 belt, with a pitch of 2mm. and a DRV8825 at 1/32, it should not give a number of steps per mm of 160 and not 200 as you propose for $101 = 200 ?.
I think that with the 16 tooth pulley that would be 200 steps per mm.
Sorry if i’m wrong.
Hello, yes it is 160 normally, but I have mid 200, and it works perfectly! and for the 50BYJ46-1 I had to tweak because it is a 1/60 but it works very well with the settings that I apply.
