Built like a machined part: ISO 773 keyways sized to 12 mm and 20 mm shafts, M5 set screws to lock them, and flanges drawn as bent metal plates instead of printed rims.
Using the CheapCAD Tools connector, design a two-pulley timing belt drive: HTD 5M belt, about 150 mm between centres, M5 set screws in both hubs. Pulley 1: 20 teeth, 12 mm bore with a 4 mm wide, 2 mm deep keyway, a hub 26 mm across and 10 mm tall, and flanges drawn as metal plates. Pulley 2: 30 teeth, 20 mm bore with a 6 mm wide, 3.1 mm deep keyway, a hub 34 mm across and 10 mm tall. Check the design, apply any Auto-fix it suggests, then export both pulleys as STL and give me the download link.
Paste it into Claude, ChatGPT or any AI app with the CheapCAD Tools connector, and it designs this drive with you, checks it and hands you the files. How to connect your AI.

Read from the generator's Dimensions panel for this design, which opens with no warnings.
Ready for an FRC robot: the bore fits REV ½" rounded hex shaft, with SH-50 retaining-ring grooves on both faces and a splined washer under each ring so nothing walks along the shaft.
Splined like a gearbox shaft: ISO 4156 involute splines in module 1, with a flat root at 30° on the small pulley and a fillet root at 37.5° on the large one.
Heavy-duty HTD 8M on splined shafts: straight-sided ISO 14 splines carry torque no set screw could, and the 36-tooth pulley is spoked around its spline hub.
Industrial scale: an HTD 14M drive for a 40 mm belt, keyed 35 mm and 50 mm bores, a spoked 36-tooth pulley over 160 mm across, and metal-plate flanges.
