I am building a new printer that uses closed loop gt2 timing belts but i am a bit confused about the length. If say for example a looped belt was advertised as 400mm long will the belt have a length between two points of 400mm or 200mm

Thanks Nikki

Hi Nikki,

It would have about 200mm between two points, less so if you use pulleys of course.

Thank you ! I can order my belts now and continue with my build

splicing of belts is also possible, however it's not ideal and I tried several methods before I found one that seemed to actually stand up to regular use in my printer.
