Do you mean, add an idler to be able to use a longer belt? I could do
htat I suppose. The real problem is the belt material, mylar. It's not
easy to fabricate stuff out of thin mylar, especially in these
dimensions and tolerances.
It needs to be low compliance, eg. not stretch, it's in a servo loop,
and a rubber belt would likely make the servo loop oscillate.
Does anyone
know where to get replacement parts? I have the old belt
(pieces) so I can get dimensions. (It's about 3mm wide, 2" diam,
yellowish thin mylar).
If you can find something just a little larger, and you have some room,
you might be able to "squeeze" the belt.
