Hi All, Can someone clarify the formula to calculate the distance travelled for one full motor rotation on my belt driven system? I have the V-Slot® Linear Actuator Bundle however I changed the pulleys for the 20 tooth. Thanks in advance, Charles
Hi Peter, I'm aware of this site but I would like to know the calculation without taking into account the stepper. Surely it's pretty straight forward? Thanks, Charles
Thanks for the prompt responses, however the RepRap Calculator and formula above give me different results: Pitch: 3mm Number of teeth: 20 3 * 20 = 60mm Now according to RepRap, if I full-step (200 for full rotation) with my current setup I get 3.333 steps/mm. 3.333 * 200 = 666.6 / 10 = 66.6mm Where am I going wrong?
Steps per mm IS NOT mm per Rotation. So wont be the same. Rotation = 60mm. Each mm needs 3.33 steps (per calc). So to move 60mm you need 60x3.33 steps = 199.8 steps. Close enough to 200 steps so all matches. 3mm doesnt divide as nicely as say 2mm GT2 so rounding error on the Prusa Calc explains the missing 0.2 step. See just use the Calculator and call it a day
