I just wanted to try belts and didn't want to have to deal with Z-wobble that can happen easily with screws.<br /><br />Based on my experience with the final version of the belt drive (see the Z axis part 3 post), I would say there was no compromise in performance at all compared to screws.Mark Rehorst DMDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13616282129430791353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5001794558945659136.post-50771980834962845262017-08-19T03:36:42.261-05:002017-08-19T03:36:42.261-05:00If weight was not a consideration, would you use l...If weight was not a consideration, would you use lead screws? I'm also currently looking to build a large corexy after building 2 printers. Like you said here, adding 3 lead screws adds complexity; for my build, it took a bit of tuning before the 3 screw system driven by 1 motor worked. However, I've never tried or needed to use belts for the z, as I've never needed to have to move my printer around, thus, there was no need to compromise for the weight of the printer.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04753412727667960742noreply@blogger.com
