After using my Ender 3 for some time, and after reading the_digital_dentist's blog series on the UMMD, I've decided to start my own project for a printer that has, atleast, a 500x500 build area.
Been reading and studying for the last few months, and got a design in my head. Also tried a few ideas in Fusion 360. The issue that I keep running into is I'm not 100% sure how I can ensure
that my belts are parallel.
I'm planning on using GT2 9mm belts, 20-teeth GT2 pulleys, F608zz and F6902ZZ bearings as idlers.
It's been atleast 15years since I touched any CAD software or did any mechanical engineering, and my math is... Let's just say it ain't my day job!
My guess is that for the belt to run parallel between a GT2 pulley and an idler, the top of the pulley teeth should be in-line/parallel to the surface of the idler?
Please correct me if I'm wrong!
