Hi Keith, I'm intrested in building a Bldrbot Pro to replace my Prusa i3. I can get all the dimentions for the printer from the .skp file, all the dimentions but one. In the pictures you state that the Z drive belts are closed loop belts from RobotDigg, my question is, what length are the belts? Regards Sally
Sally The 670mm worked 670mm or 696mm endless gt2 belt The way to synchronize the two Z belts was with the set screws on one of the pulleys.
Surprised this didn't get much attention. Any more updates? This machine is very logical to me. Would love to know if you've fleshed this put further. I too have been planning on using the double ended nema. It could also be used for the x or y gantries in an ultimaker type setup as well. I think the fabrikator from turnigy uses something similar for their y movement.
When I put the BOM together for this, it was more expensive than an alternate design I had. So I built the other one.
