I pulled the CAD of bbman's website, with the hope that the profile is correct (or close enough to correct that it'll work, the fact that their CADs have different profiles for HTD and GT2 pulleys seems to indicate that they're not just using a single erroneous profile for all of them).

I had heard that other teams had successfully machined pulleys from CADs obtained this way, so it seems worth a shot.

If it doesn't work, I'll check out the parametric pulley link nicholsjj posted (thanks for that, by the way) - though I don't have OpenSCAD on my computer right now.
