Description
This motor plate allows use of a standard BMG 50t extruder gear to drive the front z-belts instead of 3d printing / mods.
Parts needed, standard bearings and a BMG 50t gear.
4 heat set inserts
Nema 14 Pancake motor
Front motor mounts based on the step file of the YAT-Zero
Printed in ABS with at least 4 layer top, bottom and walls (I used 5) and at least 30% infill.
Note this is in BETA. I have printed and installed these in my printer and mounted the belts, It seems to work nicely when turning by hand. I will have my printer running shortly. Please post in the comments when you get it running live.
