Building an Acro off kit standard: some questions of what differences things can make

Hi—

I already asked the question about substituting 2040 for 2020 in the 1515 build and am going to try that.

I have some other small options, and sometimes sourcing one part is easier than another. As I am relatively naive when it comes to building these things, I just had a few questions on what sorts of differences these substitutions could make:

1. Pulley teeth: I see on the build list the pulley is 14 tooth. What if I used 20 teeth? What are the consequences to the resolution or what must I consider?

2. GT2 timing belt width: In the kit it is 5mm, what if I were to use 6mm? Does that affect anything?

3. Are low profile screws necessary for build or are the more of an aesthetic choice?

Thanks!

 

Oh good to know, I would actually have thought better resolution so shows what I know

And thanks for other answers

 

I am in Europe and have actually found lots of different companies that stock OpenBuilds product including the things you mention. Ratrig.com in Portugal has all of those and there is also vslot-poland.com that sells entire Acro kits as well as the parts. There are a few more as well including tiny resellers here.

But good to know these things are important! I have a lot of low profile screws on order now and xtension wire connectors. Already got the shims!
