Pin Configuration

GT2 Rubber Timing Belt Closed Loop 6mm Width for 3D Printer CNC
Overview
The GT2 Rubber Timing Belt Closed Loop is a critical component in 3D printing and CNC machines, ensuring precise movement and synchronization of axes. This belt features a 6mm width and a 200mm length, making it suitable for a variety of applications.
Pin Configuration
The GT2 Rubber Timing Belt does not have pins, as it is a mechanical component designed for linear motion and synchronization. Instead, it features a toothed profile that engages with corresponding pulleys to transfer motion.
Connection Structure
To connect the GT2 Rubber Timing Belt to your 3D printer or CNC machine, follow these steps:
1. Identify the Pulley
Locate the GT2 pulley on your 3D printer or CNC machine. This pulley is typically attached to a stepper motor or a shaft.
2. Align the Belt
Carefully align the GT2 Rubber Timing Belt with the pulley, ensuring the belt's teeth engage with the pulley's grooves.
3. Secure the Belt
Use the provided screws, clips, or other fastening mechanisms to secure the belt to the pulley. Make sure the belt is properly seated and centralized.
4. Route the Belt
Route the GT2 Rubber Timing Belt along the axis of motion, ensuring it remains taut and parallel to the machine's frame.
5. Connect to Idler Pulley (Optional)
If your machine features an idler pulley, connect the other end of the GT2 Rubber Timing Belt to it. This pulley helps maintain belt tension and ensures smooth motion.
6. Check Alignment and Tension
Verify that the belt is properly aligned and tensioned. Adjust the belt's position and tension as needed to ensure smooth, quiet operation.
Important Notes
Always refer to your 3D printer or CNC machine's documentation for specific installation and configuration instructions.
Ensure proper tensioning of the belt to prevent damage or wear.
Regularly inspect and maintain the GT2 Rubber Timing Belt to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
By following these steps, you can successfully connect and integrate the GT2 Rubber Timing Belt Closed Loop into your 3D printing or CNC machine.

### Example 1: 3D Printer Firmware (Marlin)

In this example, we'll demonstrate how to use the GT2 Rubber Timing Belt in a 3D printer firmware (Marlin) to control the X-axis motion.

```c++
// Define the X-axis motor and pulley settings
#define X_AXIS_MOTOR 1
#define X_AXIS_PULLEY_TEETH 20

// Set the X-axis motor speed and acceleration
#define X_AXIS_SPEED 500
#define X_AXIS_ACCELERATION 1000

// Define the GT2 belt specifications
#define GT2_BELT_PITCH 2
#define GT2_BELT_WIDTH 6
#define GT2_BELT_LENGTH 200

// Calculate the X-axis steps per millimeter
#define X_AXIS_STEPS_PER_MM (X_AXIS_PULLEY_TEETH  GT2_BELT_PITCH) / (GT2_BELT_WIDTH  PI)

void setup() {
  // Initialize the X-axis motor
  stepper[X_AXIS_MOTOR].setSpeed(X_AXIS_SPEED);
  stepper[X_AXIS_MOTOR].setAcceleration(X_AXIS_ACCELERATION);
}

void loop() {
  // Move the X-axis 10mm
  stepper[X_AXIS_MOTOR].move(X_AXIS_STEPS_PER_MM  10);
  delay(1000);
}
```

### Example 2: CNC Machine (GRBL)

In this example, we'll show how to use the GT2 Rubber Timing Belt in a CNC machine (GRBL) to control the X-axis motion.

#define X_AXIS_MOTOR 1
#define X_AXIS_PULLEY_TEETH 20

// Set the X-axis motor speed and acceleration
#define X_AXIS_SPEED 500
#define X_AXIS_ACCELERATION 1000

// Define the GT2 belt specifications
#define GT2_BELT_PITCH 2
#define GT2_BELT_WIDTH 6
#define GT2_BELT_LENGTH 200

// Calculate the X-axis steps per millimeter
#define X_AXIS_STEPS_PER_MM (X_AXIS_PULLEY_TEETH  GT2_BELT_PITCH) / (GT2_BELT_WIDTH  PI)

void setup() {
  // Initialize the X-axis motor
  Serial.println("G21"); // Set units to millimeters
  Serial.println("G91"); // Set relative mode
  Serial.print("F"); // Set feed rate (mm/min)
  Serial.println(X_AXIS_SPEED);
}

void loop() {
  // Move the X-axis 10mm
  Serial.print("G1 X"); // Move X-axis
  Serial.print(10); // Distance (mm)
  Serial.println(); // Send command
  delay(1000);
}
