Tutorial: How to Use T5 Belt Pulley 12 Teeth

The T5 pulley with 12 teeth and a central hole of 5mm is an essential component for Prusa Mendel 3d printers. It serves to transmit the power of the motor to the belt, ensuring precise movement of the X or Y axis.

What you need

• Prusa Mendel 3d Printer
• Stepper Motors
• T5 Belt

Steps

1. Check that the pulley is compatible with your 3D printer’s motor and belt.
2. Securely mount the pulley onto the motor using a 5mm diameter bolt.
3. Insert the T5 belt into the pulley, ensuring it is properly aligned and not overly tensioned.
4. Check the functionality of the 3D printer after installation.
