HOW-TO
How to generate a gt2 pulley STEP / STL file
- 1Enter tooth count and belt width — the GT2 profile updates live.
- 2Choose the flange mode: none, idler or pulley with hub.
- 3Set bore, bore type and set-screw hole; add bore clearance for 3D printing.
- 4Check the spec cards and any warnings.
- 5Download STEP, STL or 3MF — or send it to Orinovate for a quote.
What is a GT2 pulley?
GT2 is a 2 mm-pitch timing-belt system with a rounded tooth that meshes with almost no backlash, the standard linear drive on 3D printers, laser engravers and small CNCs. Drive pulleys clamp to the motor shaft with a set screw and usually run 6 or 9 mm belts; idlers spin on bearings to guide the belt.
Key dimensions and selection
Pitch diameter PD = z·2/π; outside diameter OD = PD − 0.508 mm; groove depth ≈ 0.75 mm. Fewer teeth give finer resolution but less wrap and fewer teeth in mesh — use at least 12–16 teeth and ≥ 6 teeth in mesh. Flanges at OD + 4 mm keep the belt from walking off.

FAQ
What is the outside diameter of a GT2 pulley?
Pitch diameter PD = teeth × 2 mm / π; outside diameter OD = PD − 2 × 0.254 mm (pitch-line differential). 20T: PD 12.73 mm, OD 12.22 mm. 16T: PD 10.19 mm, OD 9.68 mm.
How far does the belt move per motor revolution?
Travel per rev = teeth × 2 mm, so 40 mm for 20T. With a 1.8° stepper at 16 microsteps: steps/mm = 200 × 16 / 40 = 80. The steps-per-mm calculator does this for you.
Can GT2 be mixed with T2.5 or MXL?
No. GT2 has a curvilinear 2 mm-pitch tooth; T2.5 (2.5 mm trapezoidal) and MXL (2.032 mm trapezoidal) are incompatible and will skip and wear quickly.
How accurate is the tooth profile?
The GT2 groove is approximated with arcs and tangents: R0.555 mm bottom, 0.75 mm depth, ≈1.41 mm wide at the OD, with the standard 0.254 mm PLD. It works well for 3D printing and general drives; for precision positioning use a machined pulley or tune from measurement.
Which software opens the gt2 pulley STEP file?
STEP (AP214) opens in Fusion 360, SolidWorks, FreeCAD, Onshape and Rhino. STL / 3MF import directly into Bambu Studio, PrusaSlicer or Cura.
