[chbot] Banggood?

[Andrew Errington]

Thank you for the offer Winston.  At the weekend I ordered 2m of black GT2
belt, a tensioner, and three GT2 pulleys in different sizes.  I'll use that
for the next test.

I have 6 windows in one room, two of which are very wide.  In total I need
about 12m of white belt, so I was going to order 10m and 5m lengths from
Banggood, and the appropriately-sized pulleys.

The pulleys are usually bored to 5mm diameter but the motor I have has a
6mm diameter shaft.  I can drill them out on a lathe no problem.

I should probably start a new thread, as this is now getting tangential to
whatever Banggood is up to.

Thanks,

Andrew

How much do you need?

I have some white 2.5 toothed belting, 6 or 8 strand stainless wire
reinforced with matching toothed pulleys. Pulleys bored fit Nema 17 stepper
motors.
