Greetings 3d printer X-spurts; I just downloaded the .stl kit for a nema 17 powered, gt2 belt driven reduction gear. I thought I see how it rendered since I had such poor luck with that previous harmonic drive. so I update cura to 4.8.0, loaded up the teeny little gt2 belt sprocket that fits the motor shaft.
I noted that cura was lifting the head and moving it off about 2cm to about half a cm above, I assume to give that small a part a chance to cool between layers. But it still finished in about the 15 minutes it said it will take when cura sliced it. And the print is easily 5x sharper, a quite usable gt2 rendering where before, an xl pulley was just barely usable with a belt tight enough to satisfy Jack Benny! So I've come to the conclusion that quite a bit of what you can download as .stl's, are intended to be very low resolution so as not to compete with the same you-toobers commercial offerings. And my printer isn't the piece of crap I turned off in disgust 6 weeks back. I am impressed.
