I just used your parametric model to 3D print a pulley with *_440 TEETH._* I was astonished when the belt wraps completely around it, every tooth falling right into its groove, a perfect fit. I did not expect easy success. Thank you very much, this was extremely helpful.
I am having trouble with exporting an edited version of your pulley with a larger quantity of teeth. I tried to get it into Cura but it only shows like a quarter of all the teeth on the pulley. Do you have a solution for this? Thanks!
Really good work thank you! One small issue is that the resulting model does not have any radius on the belt teeth, therefore they will not fit into the belt correctly. I fixed it but just wanted to let you know about that missing component in case anyone else downloads the file.
Thanks for sharing to such a detail! I'm just getting started with F360 for some things I want to 3D print and this will save me a lot of effort 👍🏻 Subsribed!
Hello, super helpful tutorial! I’m going to make my own and later 3D print it. Do you think that I need to give it some backlash? And if I need to, how would you do it? Sincerely
Hi Martin! Thanks so much for your comment! Its sounds tricky to give some backlash because of the tight numbers the formulas give, but you can try it ! In this case i would print the pulley at the lowest layer height value that could be something like 0.05mm This allows the printer to give a fine detail to the part, resulting in a high accuracy product, hope it work for you, good luck! And congratulations for trying to print it !
hello it was amazing! thank you so much for sharing.I have a question.When i increase the number of teeth to 45 and back to 20, it starts to give error and model gets weird. Is it normal to happen like this?
Yeah man, it is weird... Thanks so much for your comment i really appreciate it ! A possible solution can be opening the sketch that shows the warning and delete the tangent constraits you gave to the pulley tooth roundness (the red ones), then drag and drop one of the circles and the pulley will get to the desired dimension, give back the tangent constraints and youre done. This happens every time you go back from a higher number of teeth. I´ve tried everything to get rid of this issue, it seems like it is a computing error. If you find any alternative please let me know. Thanks again :)
@@cemf4330 Run into a similar issue with Fusion before. Best to actually generate the Stock then subtract the bit as a feature then do your Pattern. Feel free to use mine and try and break it ;) a360.co/357uhVM Seems to occasionally break the tangents in sketch2 of the minor tooth circles.
@@seabreezecoffeeroasters7994 Dude, thank you so much for posting this. I'm trying to knock out a project this weekend and learning how to make the pulley was taking too long. I spot checked your math and changed parameters to what I needed and the design morphed correctly. Small suggestion: parameterize the ID of the pulley as well! Thanks again for posting this I really appreciate it :)
@@andrewenglishsc NP. The ID and OD of the pulley and the belt reinforcement path/diameter are all driven by the tooth count. You need to think of the belt reinforcement as a fixed known length but then bend that path (and assume the rubber will conform below it into the teeth). In practice you might want to slightly enlarge the bottom tooth diameter to reduce the squeeze if you are manufacturing one. If you mean the bore as a parameter of the pulley then yes it certainly could be but tweak your own and save it. Now includes a Belt/Rack Generator too.
Thanks! I really appreciate your comment here you have a link to a video in wich i explain a little bit of belt design and also how to manufacture them with a 3d printer : ruclips.net/video/zAdV-6NeHKo/видео.html Dont forget to like share and subscribe 😉
Hi Sinergia i'm having troubles entering the formula into the "Expression" field for the PD_ name ... the formula displays as red text and the Ok button is greyed out. Do you know why this is happening?
I struggled here as well, you can click and hold inside the shape and move your mouse to draw a rectangle that encapsulates part of the two circles and the intersection. This way you select the intersected body, afterwards press E to extrude
Hi! Thanks for your feedback. Sorry i dont understand your technical info... ...i think that maybe you have another way to build it. But dont worry you can trust my design, in fact i have a video where i demonstrate it by 3d printing a GT2 Belt , based on parametric design on this tutorial. Here you are: ruclips.net/video/zAdV-6NeHKo/видео.html
Cela fonctionne tres bien mais lorsque je change le nombre de dents au bout de 2 ou 3 changement mon esquisse devient jaune et touest bloque Pouvez vous m'aider Merci
This is the best video of reference to work with a GT2 pulley that I've ever seen

Glad you share your experience and feedback ! 440 T’s sounds wild! I’m pretty happy that it worked out.
Amazing, the video and model are works of art. My next project will have a variety of pulley sizes, you've saved me countless hours. Thank you!
Talk about simplifying it! Thank you very much. I was over thinking it!
I downloaded your parametric model and it works perfectly. Thanks so much!!!
Thank you very much, this helped me a lot!
thanks! VERY useful in an emergency in which I need a pulley for my cnc!
Thank you so much - your video has been so helpful, I've learned so much.

This blows my mind :D
Great video, keep the good work

Thanks to you Mickael for getting interested
Thank You, lovely Video :)
Well done you are great
Thanks for watching!!
amazing tutorial
thank you very much even for the file ! you save me a lot of time
That's a great piece of work. Thank you so much!
Awesome
Thank you! This has been very helpful :)
Great video!!! Thanks a lot!
Nice work!
Thank you so much
super helpful! getting some errors when going to 12 teeth and 3mm pitch (P_), but they can be solved manually

What a nice design, you also design the belt!
Thanks for your comment its really nice to see engineers around here!
Thanks. this is very helpfull !. Can you show us how to make a belt as well

Давно искал что-то подобное.
Hi Sinergia i'm having troubles entering the formula into the "Expression" field for the PD_ name ... the formula displays as red text and the Ok button is greyed out. Do you know why this is happening?
Hi Brad, sounds like probably you´re missing units in the expression try placing something like 15mm or 2inch
When I try to extrude on the final step it selects everything in the circle instead of just the outer part. Please what do I do.
I struggled here as well, you can click and hold inside the shape and move your mouse to draw a rectangle that encapsulates part of the two circles and the intersection. This way you select the intersected body, afterwards press E to extrude

Were is the transsition radius 1.00mm? Seems to me you forgot that radius?

je peux augmenter le nombre de dents mais dés que je diminue le nombre de dents il se bloque Pourquoi ?
Having to sign up for some Shiat service to download a text file is ridiculous.
