Nice Mod @tgm022861! Curious how this is working out for you? Whether you started out with a stock build and have thoughts/observations on how performance/reliability has changed?
Been looking forward to seeing someone Mod their LR to minimize belt slack, regardless of Y axis length, after stumbling onto this video a few months ago…
Looks like @braunscnc’s MPCNC build uses an extra fixed belt as well:
Can’t tell from the pic if tensioned idler(s) are pressing onto the belt (or stepper) to reduce backlash for the small length of belt that’s free to move? Maybe tensioned idlers wouldn’t gain much, curious what others think.
