GT2 Timing Pulleys

[AlexanderLuke]

This past year we used BB Manu for some GT2 pulleys. Great service, fast shipping time. No complaints on my part. Just bore the ID and broach for 1/2" hex, but that is not a big deal.

I am however looking forward to what WCP has in store

3D printing timing belt pulleys to go on a 1/2 hex is pretty doable if you have reasonably high quality 3D printer. If your using a GT2 timing belts the forces are low enough that you shouldn't have issues with durability.

The actual design patents on both HTD & GT2 timing belts have expired, but the belt names are still trade marked.

There is actually a fairly good supply of these parts. Some vendors license the HTD & GT2 names, and sell them that way. There are other vendors that sell them under an in-house name that is fully compatible. Try searching with the original gates part number for any belt or pulley to find more options.
