This is a GT2 belt based reduction gear for MPCNC X and Y steppers. Standard A4988 drivers are fairly weak that might result in steppers skipping steps. Shown here 1:4 reduction virtually eliminates this issue.

The design allows to use either NEMA17 or NEMA23 steppers.

X and Y part differ only in backplate. The one for Y direction has a mount for an angled support of Z chain. Therefore one of gear_reduction_y_back_plate_f.stl needs to be printed mirrored.The main motor mount is the same. The gears are 80T and 20T. This can be changed to your liking.

The pulleys (80T and 20T) are built using this links:
