Ender 5 Plus Belted Z Axis

thingiverse

Basic redesign of suavewarrior's belt mod. This will completely eliminate any z-wobble problems. The bed will slowly fall after power off, but that didn't bother me that much because the printer will home the z axis before every print anyway. I might make a redesign in the future to use a worm gear when I can find a good source for one. This mod will require you to raise the bed with ether this mod https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3890803 or my own version. With mine you only lose about 5-10mm of build volume. IMPORTANT, you will need to reverse the direction of one of the motors by flipping the wires. Also, I don't know if this would work on the normal ender 5. I don't have one so I can't test it, but it should fit so maybe. Parts list: 2x 60T-20T closed loop GT2 belt and pullies, 5mm bore 2x 20T GT2 Pully, 5mm bore 6x 20T GT2 Pully idlers, 5mm bore 1x 5m GT2 Timing belt 6x 20mm Shafts, 5mm diameter 4x 25mm Shafts, 5mm diameter 4x 30mm Shafts, 5mm diameter 2x 50mm Shafts, 5mm diameter 4x 608 Ball Bearings The new E-step value for me was about 481 well testing with a depth gauge. I would test this for yourself just in case your value is different.
