Is there anyone here that attempted a 2.1m x-axis?
Use case: Engraving and routing on a standard 1080 x 900 mm solid door panel.
I read the articles on long runs, where timing belts slip, about pinion and rack methods, double belts, etc.
My humble opinion is that if I just use a deeper tooth (GT3) 6mm wide, and control the surface area on the pulley, it should not slip.
Example: If the pulley and belt only have a 1/3 surface contact with the surface, it will slip under load. The...
