    I'm unsure where I saw it but one idea is to have the belt that wraps round the gantry mounted stepper motor meshed with another length of open belt firmly fixed to the machine bed. The only length of belt "unsupported" is that short length which is picked up to wrap round two idlers and the toothed pulley on the stepper motor IYSWIM.

    You could also try the alternative of roller chain.
