Micro Timing Belt Coupler / Clip

thingiverse

This micro timing belt coupler simplifies the process of creating timing belt loops by eliminating the need for a stationary bracket attachment. Its compact design allows it to move freely around the timing belt gear on the motor, accommodating tight spaces. The coupler's performance is slightly compromised when moving over gears due to belt slippage, but this issue can be mitigated with larger gear usage. In my specific application, the coupler must traverse a single large gear without encountering smaller ones, making it an ideal solution. For optimal results, print the coupler with 100% infill and secure it in place using super glue after sliding the timing belt into position. If the single-threaded version is too small, consider opting for the double-threaded alternative.
