T5 belt (5mm pitch) fixing plates for CNC machines

thingiverse

Timing belt mounting plates for T5 belts, featuring 5mm tooth pitch and measuring 14mm in width, are commonly used in CNC plasma cutters and routers. These plates stand at a thickness of 4mm. To secure the belt, I clamped it between steel plates. The larger plates provide enough space to clamp two belt ends together simultaneously. A specific plate, measuring 60x44, is suitable for 'Y' carriages sold by eBay seller metalgodltd, where the motor is intended to be mounted. However, I opted to mount the motors at the axis's ends vertically and employed an idler pulley on the opposite end, accompanied by a tensioner mechanism. An OpenSCAD file is included, allowing for modifications as needed.
