Default Re: What??! A Belt drive??

As seems common on this forum, you are on the cutting edge of new ideas.
I have been using a similar drive system on trade show models.
I use broken ink jet printer stepper motor gears and toothed belts. Shortening the belts by cutting on a diagonal, tapering the ends for more surface area contact, glued ends left under pressure over night and not one failure to date.
Great build! Your skills are incredible. Joe
