GT2 belt-end clips? I realise that most people are using printed clips to retain the ends of belts, but what if you're not? Where do I get a corrugated metal clamp to hold the end of a GT2 belt? The obvious search terms on eBay are buried in fashion accessories. https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,414429,414429#msg-414429 Sat, 14 Mar 2026 13:46:52 -0400 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,414429,415680#msg-415680 Re: GT2 belt-end clips? https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,414429,415680#msg-415680 We are manufacuring such bet clamps:

Will wrapping the belt around a bolt so that it engages itself and then clamping (zip tie?) be reasonable? I don't want to violate any min bend radius constraints and have the belt snap at the bolt.

It's what I do. Works perfectly so far. The minimum bend radius is not important here because its a one time operation, you aren't flexing the belt enough times to fatigue it, just enough to form a loop you can use to anchor the belt.]]> Andrew Smith Reprappers Thu, 02 Oct 2014 21:09:00 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,414429,414793#msg-414793 Re: GT2 belt-end clips? https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,414429,414793#msg-414793 Copied from printerbot wooden printer]]> george4657 Reprappers Thu, 02 Oct 2014 19:53:09 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,414429,414784#msg-414784 Re: GT2 belt-end clips? https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,414429,414784#msg-414784

I solved the problem by putting a very small blob of 2 pack epoxy (2 grains of rice) between the belt teeth and the clamp before clamping it up. After hardening there was no play whatsoever. Very easy to solve.]]> dave3d Reprappers Thu, 02 Oct 2014 19:13:33 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,414429,414535#msg-414535 Re: GT2 belt-end clips? https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,414429,414535#msg-414535 stustu242 Reprappers Thu, 02 Oct 2014 08:00:39 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,414429,414511#msg-414511 Re: GT2 belt-end clips? https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,414429,414511#msg-414511 vreihen Reprappers Thu, 02 Oct 2014 06:28:54 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,414429,414429#msg-414429 GT2 belt-end clips? https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,414429,414429#msg-414429 polyglot Reprappers Thu, 02 Oct 2014 02:31:42 -0400
