Hi - My 1.1a did the same thing - it seems that the belt used along with the tensioner (the original 1.0 DaVinci did not have this) creates too much stress and it fails. I replaced mine with one of these - just search on ebay for GT2 132. At the time, $2.39 each. These have a more sturdy fiberglass core - the original belt was (IMHO) simply too weak to do the job.

Thanx alot! I will check the link out, only hope they send to private persons.

I will order a couple of shorter and two sets of original and try the shorter out, I get back here when I have test them

The wheels that the belt is turning on, they are kind of big, 5mm is the timing belt size, but I think 6mm will fit so I will order some of them to.

Hm. So s2m is the pitch of the teeth, 132 is how long the belt is, and its 5mm wide

Yep sounds right.

You could try a shorter belt but considering the photo maybe the old one just stretched. if it were me I would get a couple of the original size and maybe a couple shorter ones to try I would hate to see you buy shorter ones only to find they are too short.

Does anyone know if I can use a smaller belt?
The motor is adjustet to the lowest point (max tensioned), plus there is a tensionpart for the belt.

The s2m tells you it is 2mm the t132 I think is a type of timing belt it might have something to do with the total length that I don't know.

So I had my printer for two days now, made about 8 prints with it.

When I was printing the nozzle started to move outside my printspace and it sounded wierd.

Checked the belts and than I saw that one of my belts was nearly off =/

It is marked: T132 s2m.

What does the numbers stand for?
Can I buy any belt with that numbers and it will work?
