Overkill? I did not want to modify the spindle to add the encoder so I just matched the stock end gear.
It took about 5 tries before I got the Urethane to buttfuse correctly. The seller said one could just use a soldering iron, I have plans to make a fusion tool then I could sell belts on ebay. I had to buy 10' so if anyone needs a urethane 1" belt let me know.
I could have used a smaller belt but 1" is what I got.

Wow.? That's quite the belt.

I have my new installed.
And now my Encoder!
I am struggling to find some Arduino Rotary Encoder RPM code that actually works.
I have found sketches that almost work, but are unstable, the rpm keeps changing.
And a lot of code that just does not work.
My encoder is set for 800 ppr (pulse Per Revolution).
I will mount the encoder today.
I know RELS would probable just work but I really am just looking for Motorized Z at the moment.
Oh did you see I have a rough prototype mounting for my Z stepper motor. That needs a lot of work.
I can feel the motor binding when I turn the leadscrew.?
