Snap fit Gt2 belt clamps/clips/ties for reprap, creality, and many other machines. Includes belt ends, or belt loop clips.

UPDATE: I've discovered an issue with my tolerances in the original design, and if I crank up my belts as much as possible, the belt can slip through the clips. To address this problem, I've tried various solutions, and my test prints have proven to be more than capable of handling significantly increased belt tension without any issues. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to get the updated clips to slip on the belts. To resolve this issue, I've tweaked some tolerances so that the belt is held extremely tightly and slightly compressed, which should prevent it from slipping altogether. Additionally, I've doubled the wall thicknesses of the parts to make them stronger, easier to print, and less prone to flexing. To top it off, I've made sure all parts are now symmetrical. If you're concerned about belt slippage, a small dab of superglue between the insert and the belt should provide more than sufficient hold. To put this to the test, I tightened my belts as far as possible (without using superglue) and was unable to get the updated clip to slip on my belts. Secure belt clips for 6mm GT2 belt ends (replacing the brass tube clamp on belt ends for Creality machines) or belt loops (used on a lot of Reprap machines like the Hypercube). These clips are printed in PETG for added strength and durability. I strongly advise against printing these parts in PLA. ABS, NYLON, PETG, or ASA should work well, but for maximum strength, use minimal cooling fan (preferably none), high print temp, and low layer height (0.2mm layers or less). A 0.4mm or smaller nozzle is recommended due to the intricate detail required for the tiny teeth that engage on the belt (use an extrusion width of 0.4mm or less). Print these parts upright, as shown in the picture above. Assembly: 1. Thread the belt through the "cover" piece. 2. Push the "insert" piece onto the belt where you need the clip. 3. Slide the cover piece over the insert piece until they snap together. You may find it helpful to use pliers due to the tight fit.
