Hello XL makers! 

This i a Remix of a few Remixes :D Thanks to all of them <3

Lukáš Kupec, sshyshak, Racemade3D, racerethan, Prusa Research

This remix was made for pulleys from LDO or Gates that have a thickness of 10mm. The original pulleys are made by Prusa itself. These have a thickness of 9mm and cost just under 6 euros at Prusa. Since it's best to replace all of them at once on the XL, that's a total of 10-12 pulleys. These pulleys from Gates or LDO are available from 2-3 euros each.

In addition, there have been new spacer O-rings for the Prusa XL since the middle of 2024. Just a few weeks later, Prusa changed this again. They now use black nylon washers.

This remix is only compatible with the new O-rings or the new Washers.

_______________________________________________________________________________

Print Settings:

  • 0.4 or 0.6 nozzle
  • 5-7 perimeters
  • PC-CF or PA-CF
  • 0.25mm layer high 
  • min. 30% Infill 

The layer height should really be 0.25mm. I had problems when I printed it at 0.2mm, because the pulleys had too much play.

_______________________________________________________________________________

It is recommended to use 10 smooth and 2 toothed pulleys. There are 2 pulleys on the XY carriage where the belt touches the pulley with the toothed side. To prevent the belt from deforming, toothed pulleys should be used here.

They must have the following designation:

GT2, 20T, 6mm belt, 3mm bore, toothed, 10mm width.

The pulleys can be found here, for example:

(Click me if you only want to use the toothed pulleys only)

There are also many suppliers of these pulleys on Amazon, eBay or Aliexpress. However, you usually only get cheap no-name pulleys there. That's why I remixed this too.
