Timing Belt Coupler (ANSI MXL)

Timing Belt Coupler (ANSI MXL)

This allows you to connect two ends of an ANSI MXL sized timing belt together. You can use this to take a length of belt and turn it into a loop. It's designed to fit very snugly on the belt, so you may need to use a small flathead screwdriver to push the belt into the coupler. It provides a very solid joint. It would be nice to make this parametric in OpenSCAD. I needed to knock something out quickly for a robotics project, so I did this in SolidWorks as seen in the attached .sldpart file. Instructions I printed this on my Replicator sliced at 0.25mm layer height. I got the most consistent results when I oriented the model so the open side (the side you press the belt into) was facing up. I normally print raftless, but in this orientation there is very little surface area in contact with the HBP, which was giving me some issues. I had much better success once I printed with a raft.
