Greets all; How fine a tooth pattern have you managed to use as pulleys, made by a 3d printer?
I've got some of the motors that were used in the early 5.25" floppy drives, 6 wire 12 volt. and all those leftover drivers from junking the ones that came with the 6040 mill and the so-called 24 volt supply that couldn't run them but backed off to 14 volts when the A axis was plugged in. And I've had a 10" Meade newtonian scope and a polar mount whose drives need a redesign to cover as much of the sky as I can see from down in my little cul-de-sac. A bigger lathe, and a 3d printer. But 5mm belts are a little coarse for both the high gear ratios needed and gear sizes too. since the biggest I can make on the ender-3 is around 7 inches. I have fine tuned the sizes of this printer such that a commercial belt fits perfectly but this printer uses similar motors with much narrower, finer tooth belts. So what I'm asking is, has anyone printed a pulley that fits & works with these smaller, finer toothed belts?
