Ai3M Piranha Belt-Mount

thingiverse

This is a Prusa-inspired Mount for the timing belt of the X-axis of the Ai3M. Belt changes are incredibly easy with this design and it looks fantastic. I utilize belts with steel-core made of Polyurethane, which are extremely stiff. The .stl file also fits standard belts, but they can be loose and may require a good amount of force to pull them out. To address this issue, I've included an additional .stl file with thinner slots designed specifically for rubber belts. The mount is simply attached to the original carriage using one cable tie, allowing for effortless centering due to its self-centering design. Have fun printing! UPDATE 10/2020: After seven months of use, a small crack was discovered at the mouth of the piranha. To prevent this issue in the future, I've created a stiffer version of the belt mount.
