idea for linear belt drive

[dickieto]

That is a very good idea (wished I'd thought of it :)) Reminds me of Mike Everman's servo belt idea (worth reading for belt info)

You'll probably need to gear down the drive from the stepper/servo to the drive belt to get the desired resolution. And, make sure the belt you choose has sufficient tooth strength to put up with the dynamic load.

I like it .

[edit] This is dickieto's idea for those of you without a dxf viewer:
