how many belts do you go through per a year?

I was going through a small handful of belts per year. Maybe 3 or 4, topps. Absolute max.

Now — it’s like every few days I snap another one. I can already feel another one getting weak. Just ordered more from AliExpress today.

I mean I could turn down the power and solve most of those problems. But… yeah who wants to do that.

Motor pulley teeth getting sharp?

What pulleys are you using? Id start with a 44T and adjust the motor pulley accordingly since bigger pulleys are less stress
