Btw, where do you guys get your Filament from?

I had abit hardtime understand what was the pully belt you mentioned.

timing pully is a general call for the belts.

We normally call it GT2 belt for the one we normally used in the repraps. Easy n worldwide recognized.

didnt follow thread much, bro, you got reprap? easy to use or not? need to calibrate print head/table often?

yes i got reprap.

when i first start to use it, honestly it's NOT EASY to use
Calibration is the most headache part among the job

you need to calibrate alot of things +

yeah quite susah. especially using ABS stuff.
but now newer ones like replicator 2 using PLA should be much easier also. hopefully future versions , it'll be like handling inkjet/laser printer..

for Printing ABS, it;s awlays recommend to print on heated bed. if not...

Replicator 2 is made by makerbot. I'm looking to enhance my unit into a larger format and to dual nozzle

yeah quite a few ppl who own some of these 3d printers complain in their blogs, these things still long way to go to user friendly outputs. many spend more time tweaking it than printing 3d objects..

tweaking up the machine actually train up my EQ too

EQ and patience..

Who is the GT2 maker?

I m not confuse you. GT2 is actually the timing pulley/belt model. Not the type of pulley/belt name. When we buy the pulley/belt, we have to tell timing pulley/belt or round pulley/belt. Than the model GT2 and teeth. Or GT2 lenght of the belt.

Timing pulley have model GT2, GT3, GT5, 8YU, S2m, S3m, S5m,S8m and S14m. All this different by the teeth size and mm size.

So true... have you guys experience melted hotend? I mean the nozzle pop out from the nozzle body. It happens to me once using PLA. Gus faaabaaa..

Bed leveling very tricky especially with a glass bed the reflection makes it difficult.

timing pulley and belt is a very general name, when you choose GT2 it means it's a very specific profile of teeth specifically for specilized application

so to say you just want to use timing belt/pulley it already not accurate there are so many types of timing pulley as you mention.
for example: see the image below, all still fall under timing pulley/belt system but GT2 is only GT2 profile and shape, not the others which are also timing belts.

Thanks for your picture. Yes, it is a general name to discript what kind of pulley is that. Than you go to more specific model and detail.

I deal a lot with timing pulley and belt in working place. Mostly is s2m, s3m or htd. When I order, I will tell them the name than the model eg GT2. If those just working or fresh graduated, they will if just tell them the model name.

you must have been dealing with many machinery at your work place.. nice to play with all those big toys..

It is heaven for you guys. If you into servo world.
