Customizable PLA/ABS flexible timing belt tool
Description
Since My Printer Is Not Capable Of Printing Flexible Material, I Was Looking For A Solution Where I Could Use Pla/Abs To Create Something That Could Function As Timing Belt. The Closest Thing I Could Find Was The Moon Rover By Emmett, Which Works Great, But Wasn'T Exactly What I Was Looking For. Therefore I Decided To Create A Little Tool (For Solidworks) To Create Custom Flexible Pla/Abs Timing Belts Based On The Same Principle. [Video](Https://Youtu.Be/Annr6Vnyrs4) I Haven'T Had The Chance To Test The Print Thoroughly, But Already Have Encountered A Few Disadvantages Compared To Real Timing Belts: - The Tensile Force These Belts Can Handle Are Not Too High. - The Belts Tend To Deform A Little Over Time, Making It Less Elastic (Haven'T Had The Chance To Fully Test This). - The Belts Are Less Flexible Than Real Belts. Nevertheless, I Still Think There Are Plenty Of Applications That Suit These, Rather Cheap, Belts!
