Z-axis pulley division:
- 200 step per revolution motor (1.8°)
- Stepper shaft has 16T pulley -> driving 80T pulley -> driving 20T pulley -> connected to belt
- Reduction = 5:1
- Final 20T pulley pitch diameter = 12.73mm (reference)
- 12.73mm * pi / 200 / 5 = 0.03999mm
Each full step should move z-axis 0.03999mm (a number that divides into 0.2mm would be better, but it should be close enough).
Can be divided down with microsteps 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16: 19.996, 9.998, 4.999, 2.4995um
6mm belt on first stage, then wider 10mm belt on second stage for higher load:
- 6mm = 2.8kg working, 56kg breaking strength
- 10mm = 4.4kg working, 88kg breaking strength
Hopefully bed weight will be <4.4kg.
