Line length control washer - solidoodle

<p>*<strong>UPDATED</strong>* V1 was to flexible. V2 is a lot stiffer, has a lower profile, and will just work better. Just tie to one of the anchors and wrap as necessary.</p> <hr/> <p>Was using spectra fishing line to replace toothed belts. Was kind of a pain trying to get the line length tied just right. These will allow some slack that can be taken up easily without having to re-tie everytime.</p> <p>This video demonstrates the spectra fishing line in action. The washer would be used at one end of each of the lines. It's not used in this video, but if I need to adjust the line length again I'll put them in. <a href="http://youtu.be/Ec21xR3YqW0">http://youtu.be/Ec21xR3YqW0</a></p> <p>Original write up for belt replacement: <a href="http://www.soliforum.com/topic/4073/beltless-drive-xy-axis-level-2-techie/">http://www.soliforum.com/topic/4073/beltless-drive-xy-axis-level-2-techie/</a></p> <h3>Instructions</h3> <p>As in the first photo, use the knot of your choice to tie around one anchor. then wrap the line around the T's as necessary. Probably a good idea to ream it through with a drill bit to make sure it spins freely on the screw.</p> <p>*The screw size is M3 socket head screw.</p> Category: 3D Printer Parts
