Y axis Belt relocation? #12

Open polemidis opened 6 years ago

polemidis commented 6 years ago

I am wondering if it would be best to relocate the driving belt under the V-Slot® so it will be:

a) away from dirt and hot sparks. Right now it looks like dirt is piling on top of the belt, and is finding its way between the belt and the v-slot. Once is there is difficult to clean, the belt has to be removed and re-tighten.

That change only needs longer Y gantry plates as the motor will go below.
