Hey, all! When I built my Mendel90 "Sturdy", the plastic parts kit came with printed T5 8-tooth pulleys. While they worked, the teeth were rather rounded and the bores ended up not being very concentric. I had considered printing out a new set in ABS (the originals were PLA, and were NOT made by Nophead), but looking on EBay under "Mendel90", I ran across these:
Aluminum 8-tooth T5 pulleys - EBay
At that price I decided to order a couple and try them out. I have gotten mixed results from Chinese stuff, but I figured I had my original pulleys as a fallback. I have to say, I am VERY glad I got these! My print edges seem to be neater and straighter, and they run nice and smooth. With two set-screws per pulley, they are unlikely to work loose as well. Since they are 8-tooth, they are a direct drop-in for the printed T5 pulleys.
And no, I am in NO way affiliated with the seller or with EBay. This was simply a worthwhile purchase I ran across and thought I would share with my fellow Mendel90 lovers. Enjoy!
