    OK, I am finally ready to try the belt mod. Does anyone know if a build log exists? I have searched the forums and found plenty of pictures but was hoping for complete instructions.

    Thanks

    Also a few days someone posted a reduction for the Y axis. May want to search for that one... I found my 1:1 mod to work just fine.

    Thanks, I saw those... Really curious how to get the belt lined up correctly and where to cut the holes on the sides of the case. I will be mounting the motor and idler on the outside.

    I forget exactly how I did this... I did cut out the part in the ZY gantry first, then lined it up from there. I know one of those laser level type things that draws a straight line came into play at one point.
    I know it's a big step, but once you get started it kinda just seems to call together...
    If you want I can search through the pics I took to see if there are any different/better ones than the ones I posted.

    Laser level sounds like the tool needed here... thanks rcav8r. If you get a chance I would appreciate the additional pictures.

    Well I checked and didn't find any more pics of the belt drive mod. It all seemed so obvious at the time :)

    In my MK1mod folder I did find some pics of my roller pressure mod....in case they may be helpful. Attached files [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG]
