If you cut it, how do you rejoin it into the small 3 inch loop needed to link the motor gear to the rear y drive gear?

As for measuring just a piece of string in place of the belt. Loop around and mark where joins then remove, tape at joint and measure.

Yikes, didn't know it was THAT belt. you can't rejoin that belt.

My plan is to outsource replacement belt  myself. XYZ customer support is rather slow. Thanks again.

The y transfer belt you need to buy as the correct sized loop belt ,as it will loop through multiple times so any thing you used to close the loop will have to go through the gears and any idlers.

I can look at my small y drive belt and give you the number once mine is done printing.

I am just curious how people break or even wear belts. I had a printer for a while that ran daily for 5 years and never broke or belt or even showed any wear on them. Could be be over tightening them or am I missing something here?

Unfortunately, I trashed the belt ,therefore I cannot verify belt size. If you have belt size available, could you please forward to me? XYZ stated it will be 2-3 days before they could get back to me on replacement. Thanks for the help.

you can order a t2 timing belt just get the number off the broken belt.

if you do it right you can even make one for the x or y carriages  by buying t2 timing belt and then fastening the loose ends to the carriages.
