Ok here goes,
I want to modify my printers Y axis
TLDR: How do i get the same distance travelled using belts/gears without altering the printers firmware.
Currently the stepper has a 20 teeth pulley wheel attached.
Pulley Wheel 20 Teeth
Radius = 12.22mm
Circumference = 38.3903mm
38.3903mm / 200 Steps = 0.1919515mm PerStep1
I have a 2Phase Stepper Motor 42. 5mm shaft diameter.
I also have a Conveyor Roller 30mm Diameter.
Roller
Radius = 15mm
Circumference = 94.2478mm
94.2478mm / 200 Steps = 0.471239mm PerStep2
If i connect the stepper shaft to the roller shaft with a coupling.
Then one rotation of the stepper will be one rotation of the roller. But how would I get PerStep2 to = PerStep1 using either gears or a belt system...
I can see its very close to a 2-1 ration but is being "close" enough for accuracy?
I have some spare GT2 timing belts and pulley heads to use.
I feel like i've got the right idea but need help.
