Does anyone have experience manufacturing the GT2 sprockets? Gates specifically warns against using their CAD to make physical sprockets. The available sprockets seem inefficient from a weight perspective. We have the tools to do this, but without being able to confirm the tooth profile, it is a risk. Either way, I will make some up and let you know how they work out.
