Love this mod, i did it just based off one of your older videos and your help on printables. Thanks for the help and making this fantastic video good job
Thank you very much for sharing, your content is really valuable for me) I did this mod today, everything is fine so far. Cost me $36 in total, ordered everything from aliexpress. I think I am almost done with my SV06 upgrades for now. OrangePi Zero 2, Klipper, printed case for OrangePi, which uses PSU fan exhaust as the source of airflow, Z-axis upper brackets with bearings, z-axis stepper mounts, 5v led lighting on a gantry, Logi270 webcam+printed mount, Tasmota controlled smart power strip, BTT HDMI 5" touchscreen, printed side mounted touchscreen case with tilt and turn adjustment, this z-axis mod. Plus some minor printed things like v-slot covers, tool holder, heatbed strain relief e.t.c. Now waiting for accelerometer to arrive)
Really interesting way to approach this mod. I've been considering adding a z belt to my own SV06 but I'm not entirely convinced it's worth the effort. I don't seem to have the same gantry alignment issues that everyone else does, especially after using the axis twist calibration.
Not everyone seems to have the issue with gantry going out of alignment but if you do a bed mesh and it shows your bed sloping down on one side, it is definitely related to the gantry.
I’m rebuilding an old i3 clone, and was wondering how to do this. It used bent metal uprights which surround the lead screws, so putting a timing belt up top would be challenging. But putting it underneath would work, especially if I do the z brace mod to add a centimeter or so of clearance. Good timing!
I wanted to ask if you ever considered replacing the motherboard. The SKR EZ V3 would drive the z motors independently and would allow for automatic calibration and leveling. That said. AMAZING solution! I am considering this but will probably consider your upper belt solution. Lastly, I love the upper mod using a bowden tube to get your filament off your gantry!
I did consider a motherboard swap for a brief moment but it is complete overkill. I would have to get a new enclosure. Run more wiring and then get Klipper configured to reliably do the z axis alignment. With a belt it just never goes out of alignment. I am pretty happy to have the belt at the bottom out of sight and out of the way. I have my full print volume back. The belt at the top ate into my z axis print volume a little bit.
@@Heiko-Prints I did a board swap on my CR10 clone a few years back. Bricked my setup, and it was never usable after. Thanks again for your videos! The bottom belt system is amazing!
question, did you have to switch any wires on the stepper motors? when I plug in the dual shaft motors i hear a click and klipper disconects, i plug in the stock stepper motors and it works, I also tried combination of stock and new motors in case 1 motor was bad but had the same problem anytime a new motor was plugged in.
So the reason I've heard for the steppers getting out of alignment is from behavior of steppers. Allegedly when receiving power steppers will advance or retreat by one or more random steps. Which when you're dealing with two motors that are supposed to be in sync will cause drift over time. Your mod fixes that

I love this idea. Need to determine the belt length needed for my SV06Plus.
Easy enough. Put the steppers and pulleys in place and wrap a section of filament around and measure the length. Good luck
@magin68 did u ever do this mod. Can u share what u learned?
@@jameshoff994 I haven't done this mod. Still on my list
The Plus is 80mm longer x&y. Would you just add 160mm to the belt you used? 690+160=250mm, no?

Excelente trabajo, muy bien, voy aplicarlo a mi impresora, Felicidades!, saludos desde México

It was actually much easier than the belt up top. I hope it will work for you.

The model I bought was plug play. They used the same connectors.

Yes, it has not gone out of alignment in a month. The belt keeps the steppers synchronized.
I looked on Amazon USA for that stepper motor and the cost is crazy. Guess I'll have to buy direct from China.
I think I bought mine from AliExpress. I noticed the price difference to offerings on Amazon.
can you share the stl of the center camera mount?
www.printables.com/model/593485-sv06-front-camera-mount
There you go
forgive me if you already mentioned it in the video, how does this mod differ to other z-axis mod you did in another video?
The belt is underneath, out of the way and doesn't interfere with anything above.
@@Heiko-Prints right, it does look better. No difference in function though I guess?
Good mod. Do you have stl for the front mount for camera?
It is somewhere on printables. If I find it I post it here.
