Belt Drive Proof of Concept

Hey Folks, just a tiny Friday update. I was finally able to test out the belt drive for the pour over cone. Although the ride is pretty bumpy, Im really excited with the control it offers. 

So fancy...

Quick and dirty demo:

Not bad for a super rough print and horrible belt tension!

I am going to do a redesign of the cone mount to run the belt and gearing internally. My goal is to always improve usability, so I really want to to make sure the belt doesn't add any complications or non-trivial maintenance. 

I'm still working on a larger update, hoping to have it out in 48-72 hours.

Hope you all have a great weekend!

Cheers,
