- 5 thousandths, or .12 mm - is enough to cause trouble. Depth of cut is .12mm for circuits.
- See Shapeoko discussion - [1]
- Latest Shapeoko uses GT2 9 mm
- Most RepRaps use GT2 6 mm
Calculations
- Positioning accuracy of GT2 belt - Say 1/2" pulley. Circumference about 40 mm. 200 steps per revolution = .2 mm positioning - but with 16 microstepping RAMPS standard - we get down to 0.01 mm positioning accuracy, or 0.5 thousandths. Positioning Accuracy does not stand in the way of a successful build - therefore only backlash and belt stretching need to be resolved. For belt stretching, the solution is proper tensioning. So this looks optimistic, gien a solid frame."
- Chart at [2] shows positioning accuracy of GT2 belt to be 0.0003 - about half that of the RAMPS 16 microstepping calculation above - meaning that GT2s can accept up to 1/32 microstepping.
- The question is - how much does the belt stretch upon acceleration (force)?
- Why is there no resource that states belt stretch as a function of force?
