I have a older xcarve and want to put new belts and upgrade the controller but unsure of the belt size and type. Please help
I found this topic useful and I am currently upgrading my machine to these. I messed up on my new nema 23 shaft size and now I am waiting on a slow boat from china for my new pulleys…
Here is how I upgraded my belts to 9mm.
Parts:
9mm Belts - 12’ - Part 26053-02
9mm Pulleys for NEMA 23 - Part 26054-12
9mm Belt Clips x 6 - Custom Made - Easel Project
9mm Idler Pulleys x 6
Existing Belt Clips and 8mm & 25mm M5 Bolts / Nuts from your X-Carve
10mm Bolts x 4 - Part 25286-01
Aluminum Sheet 2.5mm or 0.1" works great. Thicker not required
Bits one can use to mill the aluminum:
I used this Dremel bit with my spindle at the lowest speed. Worked OK.
Final part, cleanedup, file…
