Pin Configuration

  • GT2 Rubber Timing Belt Closed Loop 6mm Width for 3D Printer CNC
  • Overview
  • The GT2 Rubber Timing Belt Closed Loop is a 6mm wide and 158mm long belt designed specifically for 3D printers and CNC machines. This belt features a closed-loop design, which enables continuous motion without the need for belt retraction or reversal. This document provides a detailed explanation of the belt's components and pin connections.
  • Pin Configuration
  • The GT2 Rubber Timing Belt Closed Loop has two rows of pins, each with 6 pins, on either side of the belt. The pins are designed to mate with corresponding pulleys or gears on the 3D printer or CNC machine.
  • Pin Description (Point-by-Point)
  • Row 1 (Left Side)
  • 1. Pin 1 (Top-Left): This pin serves as a mechanical anchor, providing a secure attachment point for the belt to the 3D printer or CNC machine's frame.
  • 2. Pin 2: This pin is used to guide the belt and maintain its alignment with the pulley or gear.
  • 3. Pin 3: This pin provides additional mechanical support and helps to distribute the force exerted by the belt.
  • 4. Pin 4: This pin serves as a tracking point, ensuring the belt remains aligned with the pulley or gear.
  • 5. Pin 5: This pin provides further mechanical support and helps to maintain the belt's tension.
  • 6. Pin 6 (Bottom-Left): This pin is used to anchor the belt to the 3D printer or CNC machine's frame, securing the belt in place.
  • Row 2 (Right Side)
  • 1. Pin 1 (Top-Right): This pin serves as a mechanical anchor, providing a secure attachment point for the belt to the 3D printer or CNC machine's frame.
  • 2. Pin 2: This pin is used to guide the belt and maintain its alignment with the pulley or gear.
  • 3. Pin 3: This pin provides additional mechanical support and helps to distribute the force exerted by the belt.
  • 4. Pin 4: This pin serves as a tracking point, ensuring the belt remains aligned with the pulley or gear.
  • 5. Pin 5: This pin provides further mechanical support and helps to maintain the belt's tension.
  • 6. Pin 6 (Bottom-Right): This pin is used to anchor the belt to the 3D printer or CNC machine's frame, securing the belt in place.
  • Connecting the Pins (Structure)
  • To connect the pins, follow these steps:
  • Step 1: Align the Belt
  • Align the GT2 Rubber Timing Belt Closed Loop with the corresponding pulleys or gears on the 3D printer or CNC machine. Ensure the belt is properly seated on the pulleys or gears.
  • Step 2: Secure the Belt
  • Secure the belt to the 3D printer or CNC machine's frame using the pins on Row 1 (Left Side) and Row 2 (Right Side). Use the mechanical anchors (Pins 1 and 6 on each row) to attach the belt to the frame.
  • Step 3: Guide the Belt
  • Use the guide pins (Pins 2 and 5 on each row) to maintain the belt's alignment with the pulleys or gears.
  • Step 4: Track the Belt
  • Use the tracking points (Pins 3 and 4 on each row) to ensure the belt remains aligned with the pulleys or gears.
  • Step 5: Tension the Belt
  • Adjust the belt's tension using the mechanical support pins (Pins 3 and 5 on each row). Ensure the belt is properly tensioned to prevent slippage or vibration.
  • By following these steps, you can properly connect the GT2 Rubber Timing Belt Closed Loop to your 3D printer or CNC machine, ensuring reliable and efficient operation.

Code Examples
### Example 1: Arduino CNC Control using GT2 Timing Belt
In this example, we'll demonstrate how to use the GT2 Rubber Timing Belt Closed Loop with an Arduino board to control a CNC axis.
Hardware Requirements
Arduino Uno or compatible board
 GT2 Rubber Timing Belt Closed Loop
 Stepper motor (e.g., NEMA 17)
 CNC axis assembly
Software Requirements
Arduino IDE
Code
```c++
#include <Stepper.h>
// Define the stepper motor pins
const int stepPin = 2;
const int dirPin = 3;
// Create a Stepper object
Stepper stepperMotor(stepsPerRevolution, stepPin, dirPin);
void setup() {
  // Set the stepper motor speed
  stepperMotor.setSpeed(100);
}
void loop() {
  // Move the stepper motor 100 steps forward
  stepperMotor.step(100);
  delay(1000);
  
  // Move the stepper motor 100 steps backward
  stepperMotor.step(-100);
  delay(1000);
}
```
In this example, we're using the Arduino Stepper library to control a stepper motor connected to the GT2 timing belt. The stepper motor moves 100 steps forward and then 100 steps backward in an infinite loop, demonstrating the belt's precise motion transmission.
### Example 2: Python script for 3D Printer using GT2 Timing Belt
In this example, we'll demonstrate how to use the GT2 Rubber Timing Belt Closed Loop with a 3D printer's X-axis motor using a Python script.
Hardware Requirements
Raspberry Pi or compatible board
 GT2 Rubber Timing Belt Closed Loop
 Stepper motor (e.g., NEMA 17)
 3D printer X-axis assembly
Software Requirements
Python 3.x
 Py Serial library
Code
```python
import serial
import time
# Open the serial connection to the 3D printer's X-axis motor
ser = serial.Serial('/dev/ttyUSB0', 115200)
# Define the motor movement function
def move_motor(steps, direction):
  if direction == 'forward':
    ser.write(b'M3 S100
')  # Set the motor speed to 100 steps/s
  elif direction == 'backward':
    ser.write(b'M4 S100
')  # Set the motor speed to -100 steps/s
  
  # Move the motor the specified number of steps
  ser.write(b'M2 {} {}
'.format(steps, direction))
  time.sleep(abs(steps) / 100)  # Wait for the motor to move
# Move the X-axis motor 100 steps forward
move_motor(100, 'forward')
# Move the X-axis motor 50 steps backward
move_motor(50, 'backward')
```
In this example, we're using Python to control the 3D printer's X-axis motor connected to the GT2 timing belt. The script moves the motor 100 steps forward and then 50 steps backward, demonstrating the belt's precise motion transmission and control.
