Ducati 999 Cam Belt Tool

thingiverse

This is a simple tool for locking the vertical intake cam gear in place when doing a timing belt change on a Ducati 999. While this was designed for doing a belt change on a 2003 Ducati 999R, it may also fit for the 749/999/Testastretta engine series of motorcycles. I bought a commercial tool that had the wrong tooth pitch, so I figured I'd just design one myself. I wanted something simple and non-marring, so printing this part out in PLA works perfectly for me. Plus...if you ever lose it, you just print a new one. Tips: There are lots of good YouTube videos on how to change belts on a Ducati. Use an engine turning tool to adjust the cams slightly if needed to get this cam lock tool to align perfectly and lock the upper intake cam gear. Be sure to fit the cam locking tool in place before removing the belt from the vertical cylinder or the intake cam will move. Print Settings Printer Brand: Ultimaker Printer: Ultimaker 2 Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: Fast Infill: 18% Notes: It's strong enough with a Basic "Fast" print setting on an Ultimaker 2+. This does a 0.8mm shell with an 18% fill. Beefing it up can't hurt if you plan to use it multiple times. How I Designed This Designed with Sketchup Make.
