Re: Help - Can't figure out way to connect spool to webbing
Have you considered using an appropriate piece of timing belt, cut down to the circumference of the sheave, then rivet your webbing onto it in such a way that the webbing both holds the ends of the belt fragment together, and grips the webbing for the lift?
Another alternative might be to use a high-strength flexible adhesive (gorilla glue or shoe goo) to do the same thing.
Or, of course, both...
Edit: and yes, Mike's suggestion of larger flanges is definitely in order!
2nd edit: as you can 3-d print a spool, a totally different solution would be to 3-d print a spool that accepts a COTS metal hub with some bolts, then engages with the webbing, and provides the needed flanges.
