Hello,

I really need an STL or CAD file of the z stage pulleys for a Darwin. The current STL package only has the molds and I was hoping someone took the time to model one up so you can print it instead of molding it. Thanks a bunch

Well its pretty darn goon, i've watched and listened to the drives in both Mendelssohn and Darwin that Vik Olliver has shown around here in NZ, plus there are some videos around.
I'm using ball chain on my 3D printer in progress and its smooth as.

Vik has produced two versions, one that goes onto Darwins Z axis

and one that clamps directly onto the shaft of a NEMA 17 motor
