K8200 GT2/2mm belt and 16 tooth pulley mod for X and Y axis

Hi everybody.

I just finished mounting my GT2 belts and the 16 tooth pulleys.
I used parts i found on thingiverse for the bearing and modified Y motor mount.

Seems to run quite well.
The 16 tooth pulleys give better precision and torque on both axes as the pulleys are lot smaller.
The 100 steps/mm i get with those make the bed run a lot smoother.
Also the belt is way more stiff in all.

Test print is running at the moment. (makerook in ABS)

I think i will remake the X pulley holder as the part i got from thingiverse is not very stable.

I do some testing and then post some pictures of the results.

cheers,

Christian

[color=#BFBF00]SORRY FOR THE BAD PICTURE QUALITY.
It was too dark already. I post new pictures tomorrow ;)[/color]

I never thought i could get such quality prints from the K8200.
The best mod i ever did so far.

keep watching

And the result :
Spiral vase, 0.2mm layers, 0.25mm nozzle, clear blue pla, print speed max 60mm/s
(i chose the smaller nozzle to make possible imperfections better visible)
