thingiverse

This is a belt driven 3D-Printer made from the tronxy X5Sa 3D-Printer Kit as a base to get an easy to source and cheap belt 3D-Printer. You only have to print the parts given and buy the kit to build this 3D-Printer. Belt Printers can print infinitely long and multiple prints after each other. Very usefull if you need several copies of one print. It doesn't need so much support because it prints at an 45° angle. You can for example print a hollow cube just fine. So you need less material and because of that less time for printing. Additional parts are: https://www.amazon.de/dp/B079PQQBG4/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_ef1qBb7P9102D https://www.amazon.de/dp/B078S78684/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_jf1qBbS3D5TQ6 and maybe some M4 Screws and 8 mm tubes to be wrapped around the threaded rods to move the belt Get the flashing tool without the need of a bootloader here to use the original electronics: http://www.customize-3d.com/flashing-tronxy-x5s-factory-control-board-usb-cable-only.html Videos of it printing can be found here: https://youtu.be/gsG3a9e925Q https://youtu.be/CtKL-agS-gM I recommend using Black Belt Cura as the slicer using the provided start and end gcode: https://blackbelt-3d.com/software For the belt I use very thick industrial Aluminiumfoil and wide Kapton Tape both can be bought very cheaply (https://www.amazon.de/dp/B00I8NHQ4O/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_.s1qBbYJ7K1E2). This should be the cheapest and easiest to source material for the belt.
