I haven't noticed any backlash due to it. I'm using 50 pound line. It isn't like the regular clear fishing line that a cheaper fishing rod might use. This stuff looks more like black thread. The brand name is Trilene. I can't remember the exact model of line, but it was the fluorocarbon stuff. It is designed to not stretch and is resistant to fish teeth cutting it.<br>
<br>
This printer (a modified SmartRap) is using a bowden tube so there isn't much mass to it. The bed is also just a bit of plastic and glass. A heavy system might have more trouble.<br>

Interesting! Will have to keep that in mind. Do you get backlash<br>
introduced by bounce in head travel? (due to the moving mass and the<br>
elasticity of the line?). What kinds of feed rates can you support?<br>

I'm using fishing line on one of my printers (wrapped directly<br>
around the stepper motor shaft itself) and it works quite nicely.<br>
The line gets tensioned might tighter than my machines with belts...<br>
it sounds like a guitar string when done.<br>
<br>
I've been running that printer for 2 months now without any issues.<br>

How would you account for slippage? Timing belts have the advantage<br>
of<br>
being toothed.<br>

I am working on a 3D delta printer build and I am considering using<br>
high test braided fishing line instead of timing belt. <br>
<br>
Does anyone happen to have any high test braided fishing line which<br>
they could spare? Or.... if anyone wants to start a rostock variant<br>
build I would be happy to welcome someone else along for the<br>
journey.<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
