Building a mendel90ish style printer, and the Y axis motor is going to be placed vertically below the center of the bed. The bottom of the bed will have attached to it a belt glued vertically on a specially designed Y axis carriage (or just a printed part with the same tooth placement) Can anyone see any immediate disadvantages or deal-breakers? I do think I'll need a way to tension it....any Ideas? In the picture the motor doesn't have the pulley yet, it's just the shaft. Thanks guys!
