We made some pulleys of weird sizes out of acrylic for the 2012 season that were light and cheap, but it took some tweaking to get it right.

We don't use the belt profile but instead the actual pulley profile.

We use only GT2 5mm x 9mm wide. But you can use other sizes: 2mm/3mm work, 973 used those sizes successfully this year.
