GT2 gears

[mrfoameruk]

Is it possible to have GT2 pulley wheels in the shape box? These are handy to have, even if just the cog and not the rims and locking screw part. Idealy we would need to select height of thread, rim thickness, centerhole size and number of teeth. I'm guessing with the selection you could create your own size and not have to go with the standard sizes available. I intend to 3d print them which i have done before and they do work.

@mrfoameruk I've added a GT2 pulley as a new shape in the library, under Mechanics. It has the real GT2 tooth shape, and you set the number of teeth (10 to 200), the belt width, the bore, and the flanges: how thick they are and how far they stand out. There's also an optional hub on top; for a set screw, put a hole cylinder through it. Because you pick the teeth yourself, any size works, not just the ones you can buy. It's an exact body, so fillets and STEP export work on it too. It comes with the next release.

If you'd like to back the project, a small donation goes straight into more features like this one. Thanks!

@mrfoameruk The GT2 pulley is out now in layerling 1.143.0: https://github.com/henmedia/layerling/releases/tag/v1.143.0. You'll find it in the shape library under Mechanics.
