Belt

Belt

By Otto Lilienthal

HIGHLIGHTS
  • Needs flexible material
  • Uses GT2 teeth profile
OVERVIEW

GT2 teeth have a 2mm pitch, so to length of the belt will be 2 times the number of teeth, in mm.

This is still a work in progress, especially for non closed belts (which are printed as a spiral).

DESIGN REQUIREMENTS
Machine The component will be designed to the chosen machine specifications =
Material Only the selected materials will be considered for the design =
PLA +2
Teeth n Number of teeth in the belt =
Belt width Width of the belt = mm
Tension max Limit tension at which the belt should still operate without failure N

ADVANCED
Bending radius Smallest beding radius for the belt, at the maximum tension. mm
Closed If true, the belt will be a closed loop. Otherwise a string (printed in spiral form). =
Mass Component mass will not exceed this value kg
Temp min Will work down to min temperature or lower °C
Temp max Will work up to max temperature or above it °C

3D PRINTER SETTINGS

Nozzle d Nozzle diameter. If possible, features thickness will be chosen as a multiple of this value. = mm
Min layer t Minimum layer thickness. Smallest height which ensures good quality. = mm
Min w Minimum width which ensure a good quality print. This is the thinnest wall you can print. = mm
Min tol Minimum tolerance. The smallest value x such that a cylinder of diameter d will fit in a hole of diameter d+x. = mm
Pip tol Print-in-place tolerance: defined as Minimum tolerance, but with the cylinder printed inside the hole. = mm
Printer bed size x Size of the printing bed = mm
Printer bed size y Size of the printing bed, perpendicular to x = mm
Printer max h Maximum height for a printed part = mm
Max bridge Max length for a bridge = mm
Max overhang Max overhang angle, measured from the vertical (90 deg is horizontal). = deg
