Description
After searching for models that could lock/terminate a GT2 belt I did not find anything that suited my specific task: First, the models I found was too big and, second, most models did not provide for a lock system that locks against the object when mounting, but rather relies on a belt tightener to pick up the slack.
This model is fairly compact, 5 mm height, 11,2 mm width and 10 mm dept. It mounts right up to the object, so you can tighten the belt and lock it in place, although you might need a pair of tweezers to hold it while sliding the locking cover. This model also easy to disassemble, should you need to remove the belt lock or just to tighten the belt even more. The pictures should display how to use the lock.
For an even more compact version, see my "Super compact GT2 belt lock".
Here printed in gray PLA from Kingroon using the generic profile in Bambu Studio on an A1 mini. The provided print profile prints 4 sets ready for use!
If printing on another printer, print one of each of the 3 STL files for each belt lock you want to make. Rotate GT2_lock_pt3-Body.stl standing on the side with the smallest hole (largest hole up).
NOTE: This print has tight dimensions and requires a precise printer. Also, make sure to take the appropriate steps to avoid elephants foot. There is some small tolerances built into the print where it does not affect the function.
