Topic is “Gear Reduction”, but wondering if you saw these cool belt mod experiments to help make more precise cuts? Not sure what reliable performance improvements they observed.
Have seen posts by folks accidentally using pulleys on X and Y axis with different teeth than the recommended 10mm GT2 16 Tooth Pulley mentioned in the LR3 docs. Not seen anyone intentionally change gearing for more torque? Seen Nema 23’s mentioned, but these relatively few folks are usually adventuring far away from what most do. No idea if these folks change and/or add more belts, or different mechanism.
wrt zero backlash gears… Recently stumbled onto harmonic drive strain wave gear for zero backlash? Neat, but not sure if/how you’d use in a LR.
Disclosure: Am relatively new to all of this stuff and am just using stock parts from V1E shop’s LR3 kit. Still don’t know what my weakest part(s) are that are worth optimizing, still learning…
