Tutorial: How to Use the T2.5-20 Pulley

The T2.5-20 pulley is an essential component for 3D printers, CNC, and laser machines that use the GT2 transmission system. This type of pulley is perfect for beginner and intermediate makers who are building or improving these machines.

What you need

• 3D Printer
• CNC Machine
• Laser cutter
• T2.5 Tubes
• GT2 Belts

Steps

1. Check the pulley dimensions (diameter and number of teeth) to ensure compatibility with your system.
2. Install the pulley on the T2.5 tube, using a plug or an open-end wrench if necessary.
3. Connect the pulley to the motor through the GT2 transmission.
4. Check that the pulley rotates freely and without slipping.
5. If necessary, adjust the pulley position to ensure smooth and precise movement.
6. Test the entire configuration with your device’s control software.
7. Adjust any improper tensions or alignments.

Mini project

Create a mobile base for your 3D printer by adding a second motorized axis.

Common mistakes

• The pulley is not properly aligned with the motor or the axis of rotation.
• The GT2 belt between the pulley and the motor is too tight or too loose.
• It is not verified that the pulley rotates freely without slipping.
• A GT2 belt that is not compatible with the pulley is being used.

Recommended accessories

• T2.5 tubes
• GT2 belts
• NEMA 17 motor
• Arduino control board
