Additionally, I uploaded a fusion 360 archive file with updated changes. <h2>Overview:</h2> This is my attempt at creating a conveyor belt printer with virtually unlimited Z height. To achieve this, I used tech2c Hypercube Corey for the XY movement - https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1752766. Then, I designed the conveyor belt to have a bed that tilts and uses stainless steel belts with kapton tape for tensile strength when tightened. I published videos on Youtube showing my progress. You can find them here: https://www.youtube.com/user/ZechyC https://youtu.be/EojScsV528o I'm currently working on implementing stainless steel belt improvements, thanks to tips from William Steele. In short, the shim should overlap and use lots of kapton tape for tensile strength when you tighten the belt. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HxymWwjpkfw <h2>BOM</h2> <h3>Aluminum Extrusions:</h3> - 2 x 340mm (Y) - 2 x 303mm (X) - 2 x 400mm (Long Z) - 2 x 150mm (Short Z)
