Reasonable belt printer coming to market?

A bit rough, but a step in the right direction?

If somebody built a belt kit for an Ender3, they'd sure sell a @#$% ton of them.

[garyk]

That they would!

"shit ton" 
Is that what you meant?  



I meant a continuous belt, like the black-belt, or the one that Bill Steele was working on with PrintRbot. Yep

Seems like building the continuous belt would be the easy part. then you would have to build a filament auto loader....

Or a 10kg spool holder!

Wasn't the guy at MRRF using a stainless steel belt base?

[jimustanguitar]

I've seen people use Kapton tape as the belt material. I'm not sure what the guys at MRRF were using. I'd imagine that a material like BuildTak would also work pretty well.

Here is the github link, stainless steel belt, special buildtak sheet. Not cheap! github.com/NAK3DDesigns/White-Knight
