Broke the first cup. It's possible that a few times I didn't insert it right because the holes didn't line up well so I might well have begun the crack which then escalated. If it's inserted off axis it's hard to get it into position and if it even turns is very rough. Get it right and it's

The Step file I sent is fully functional when imported to Fusion360. There are a few changes I would make too. If the problem is the cup flexing, Maybe try some accordion pleats, a few broad sine-like curves in the cup. Why are the wals cylindrical? Another idea is to remove the bottom from

Sam, This guy in the video claims he developed the dual cup belt drive system. I don't believe him but I am curious where it came from. He's supplied CAD readable parts and stl. But he's also using involute form so I somehow think he didn't design it but is taking credit.

If it is too much work, ask me and I will re-export the entire model from Fusion360 to STEP, and I'm sure there will be no read-only as Fusion360 does not do that. I also want to re-organize it, like at least placing all the nuts and screws in a "hardware" component so that can all be turned off
