replacement belt for record player (pro-ject debut III)

<p>One day I noticed that my new record started to loose pitch. It went faster and slower all around and I couldn't make out a cause. Finally I gathered that it's not the record but the player and I noticed the belt of my trusty Pro-ject Debut III to have worn down pretty badly, going dry and porous and slippery and stuff. Yet another faulty device that can only be fixed with printed parts!</p><p>And an opportunity to make something useful from 60A TPU which is incredibly soft and gives plenty grip and most surely is the flexiest stuff I've printed so far.</p><p>The belt is supposed to have a 0,8mm thickness, so printing it in spiral mode with a 0,8mm nozzle might be the best option. I made it 2-walled on a 0,4mm nozzle and it turned out good enough, but there's a visible (yet non-audible) seam because cura can't print it in vase mode that way. I'm not sure if 60A might be overkill; probably it would also work with 82A or something similar.</p>
