DIY GT2 Pulley

Well I'm back with another tutorial and in this one we see How to make your own GT2 Pulleys from scratch using a few programs. I hope you all like it and if your cool you may want to Subscribe to this channel but if you lame then don't bother. Only cool people in my circle lol!

Great Work

Why not just pasting your DXF content in an empty notepad or notepad++ file and save it with dxf name extension. An .dxf File is only a .txt File with another name extension.

Thanks this is helpful.. Any idea how to take this pulley/gear and cut it into 4 pieces so it can be printed on smaller beds?

[@LegitLeeVelez]

Sorry it took so long for me to see your messagebut to your question I think if I were needing to do something like what you wanted to do I would just cut out the same file more then once and if I was just a laser cuter I would super glue the parts together on top of each other until I got the height I wanted

Theres no link....
Anyway - it dosent work for 3D printers, as the gcode is wrong for 3D printers.

this is the website to make the pully and export to dxf file

Yea it isn't that I wanted to 3d print it out I just needed to use my c02 laser cutter to cut through plexi glass or wood sheets

@@LegitLeeVelez Oki, thanks for the answer. I was of that impression that this was a STL I could import in a 3D program. But apparently its only for 2D printers/Cutters. Noted thanks 👍

@@timm3802 YES YOUR WELCOME AND i THINK IF YOU GET THE 2D PICTURE ON A 3D PROGRAM LIKE BLENDER YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO MAKE IT A 3D OBJECT WITH THE RIGHT DIMENSIONS TO EXPORT IT OUT INTO AN STL FILE TO 3D PRINT IT OUT USING YOUR SLICER SOFTWARE

@@LegitLeeVelez No its way to cumbersome. I ended up with Scad and imported a GT2 function design by Josef Prusa.
