I have a question !!
Hi
I have got a Prusa I3 Hephestos from BQ for a couple of years now. It works fine.
The belts seem to be good for replacement. What is the exact type of belt I have to order ?
The printer has never been modified. It is just standard.
Thanks for your answer.
Re: I have a question !!
Good morning Vincity.
The Hephestos is a clone of the Original Prusa i3 Idea, and it is not produced by Prusa research, to get an accurate answer you would be better asking on a forum dealing with that model of printer...
However... if we assume that the BQ Hephestos is a close copy of the Original Prusa i3, then the belt will be Gates GT2 6mm wide belts.
I hope this information helps you,
Regards Joan

Re: I have a question !!
These are the belts I replaced mine with,
Its been nearly 2 years and I have done over a thousand prints on it and the belts are still going strong.
You will need to get 2x of them if you decide to get them from here
