Summary
This is a GT2 timing belt generator for Autodesk Fusion 360. Download this parametric Fusion 360 archive file to generate timing belts with arbitrary numbers of teeth, widths, and pitches.
Parameters
width - width of belt (typically 6 mm)
pitch - pitch of teeth (typically 2 mm)
teeth - number of teeth
nozzle_dia - diameter of FDM printer nozzle to be used
nozzle_multiples - multiple of nozzle diameters to be used as belt thickness (3 or more)
Design for FDM
TPU Is known for stringing. This behavior makes the printing of belts, including GT2 belts, difficult for desktop FDM machines. To solve this, belts were generated inside-out, meaning that all travel moves only pass through the non-essential exterior of the belt. This protects the teeth from stringing or blobbing artifacts, ensuring smooth operation.
Future Customization
While the number of teeth, pitch, width, and thickness are easily customized with this Fusion 360 parametric file, there are still other features you may consider customizing further:
Belt surface features
Belt surface textures
Vehicle treads
Mounting points
Vase mode versions
