For belt attachment, just make a belt-shaped slit (i.e., smooth on one side and zigzag on the other, to match the zigzag of the belt), where you can insert the belt sideways.

I'll have to give this a go! I was hesitant to do this because I don't think my printer will be able to replicate the tooth features very precisely and the belt will probably slip, but it's definitely worth a try!

@@harrisonlow I have this on one of my 3D printers itself, running at twice the accelerations of Bambu X1 etc, and it's freaking solid. If it prints and it fits, you can trust it - though I have made it reasonably beefy with about 15mm of engagement either side and a few mm all round, so space constraints could make it weaker

For the belt option not running smoothly. You think it might be in relation to the cantelaliver set up you got going on? If the linear carriage has lost a few balls it would affect its ability to resist a moment. So another linear rail on the other side might fix the problem. Just a hunch
@harrisonlow 3 ай бұрын
Possibly, though at the moment the weight on the cantilever is pretty much zero (just the printed part) and even if I drag it by the linear carriage itself, I still see the drag. I was also originally very sceptical about the utility of a linear rail for this application, but after feeling it in person I'm a lot more sure that it'll be fine, even with the hand cantilevered out a bit. Of course, we won't know for sure until we test it! 🤞
