3M15 belt, is this belt strong enough for 1,2 x 2,4 meter laser that have laser tube carry on the gantry, if not what belt
should i use ? thanks

No, definitely not!

For those flat bed system(tube ride on) a bigger belt and bigger motor is required.
I just received two XY stages (gantry) system with size 4Mx2.5M which is about (13ft x 8ft)

I'll post more pictures if interested.

Hi Marco
So what belt should I use, GT2 5m,or 0.375L, and width size please because I am in the middle of the build
and try to finish it for now. I have built 1 plasma using 0.375L 3/4 inch(19mm)width belt and seem working ok,
my laser is alot lighter, gantry weight total 15kg, and Nema 23 400oz/in will be enough ? I just want your opinion
Thanks
