Glad to see someone trying out string again! The optimal number of wraps for a cable transmissions is: F(hold) = F(pull)*e^-(Mu)*(theta) Mu = friction coefficient between the cable and capstan (pulley) Theta = wrap angle (one wrap = 2*pi in radian) # of wraps If you know the required torque for your application, the motor gear ratio, the tension differential between the two terminated ends (by banana_muffin - CoreXY Machines
