Thread: Converting an axis to belt drive

I found a (bad) pic of the motor mounts, I ditched those flexible couplings as soon as I actually tried to use the machine. Having cutting problem, they were the first thing I replaced.
And one from when I was still building it, I have it on a catering table now and connected to a DDCSV.
you can see the mounts better.
I want to flip the motor mount upside down, then mount the motor under the machine. The motor mount has 4 mounting holes which align with 4590 aluminium track. I can slide the mount left and right to tension the belt before bolting down with T nuts.
Motor mount is 10mm thick aluminium plate NOT ecocast.
I have the machine in a van so undersling the motors will create me a little more space and protect the motors.
I have bolted an extra piece of 4590 behind the machine to space it off the ply.
That groove isn't from the machine but it does line up perfectly LOL.Last edited by Desertboy; 18-02-2020 at 08:16 PM.
