    Hi gurus,

    I'm designing with what i have on hand, or should i say easy to obtain and el cheapo.
    And i'm going with belts and nema 23s

    But i'm wondering if it's better to have the motors on the fixed table with belts running in a loop or to have the motor attached to the gantry and moving with it ? thus no loop but fixed ends on the table ?

    I would say that for a 3D pinter I would go with loop, if its a Router then fixed
