I used tech2c Hypercube Corey for the XY movement - https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1752766 Then I designed the conveyor with the bed tilted at 35 degrees. The software code I got from William Steele and changed it a little bit for my use - https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2358314 I published videos on Youtube to show the progress. https://www.youtube.com/user/ZechyC https://youtu.be/EojScsV528o I'm busy working on the stainless steel belt. William Steele gave me some pointers that I will implement. In a nutshell - the shim should overlap and use lots of kapton tape that overlaps for tensile strength when you tighten the belt: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HxymWwjpkfw I attached the Fusion360 archive. The project is very messy. I'm still learning Fusion360. I used 0.05mm stainless steel shim stock for the belt and kapton tape to close the loop. <h2>BOM</h2> <h3>Aluminium extrusions</h3> - 2 x 340mm (Y) - 2 x 303mm (X) - 2 x 400mm (Long Z) - 2 x 150mm (Short Z)
