With the new Xcarve, as talked about in that thread, you’ll need to either buy new motors for the GT3 belting or heat up the crimped on pulleys to remove them to put on the new pulleys.

Interesting. I didn’t know the new generation of the XCarve had the pulleys fixed to the motor shafts already.

Only the waste board is on back order. Gives me time to build a table and get my workspace set-up!
