GT2 Belt

[adam.filipowicz]

I would like to model a GT2 TIming Belt, for my 3D printer design

I know the profile for the teeth. once i set a profile up how to I swepp/Pattern it around a path?

[etfrench]

I did it by breaking the belt into 4 parts.  2 straight sections were modeled directly from the specs. 2 curved sections were created from a profile of the pulley.  As far as I know, there is no way to animate the belt movement around the pulleys.

p.s. The straight sections were done using a Rectangular pattern.
