The Shapeoko 3 uses a belt-driven Z-axis, requiring an endless loop 6mm wide GT2 belt. Belike this could be replaced by a length of belt and a clamp which could be affixed where the fixed pulley is placed.

• SDP/SI carries a 516mm belt: http://shop.sdp-si.com/catalog/product/?id=A_6R51M516060

Originally it was a 524mm belt, we now spec a 520, but the shorter 516 still works, one just loses a bit of adjustment range.
