        <title>Can I print my own timing pulleys?</title>
        <description> Hello, I don&#039;t like the price of t2.5 pulleys. I am going to buy the ones that attach to my motor shafts, but can I print the ones that I want to be free spinning? I know someone that has access to a printer. has someone done this before?</description>

<br />
No.  Makerfarm is at [<a href="http://www.makerfarm.com" target="_blank"  rel="nofollow">www.makerfarm.com</a>], president is Colin Farrer, and they are in Utah.  They sell Prusa and PrintrBot, supplies and parts for reprap.<br />

Makerbot is in Brooklyn and sell their own machines and parts.]]></description>

<br />
I've purchased alot from MakerFarm, including filament.  I found them to be prompt, professional, and shipping was very reasonable.  Which is the nice thing about a place like MakerFarm, they sell nearly everything so combined shipping is only incementally more expensive.<br />
<br />
Ordering from multiple places, the shipping really adds up.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ I understand. It's just an option.  Each of us decides how we proceed. If you do, they're in the hardware section at MakerFarm. I'd guess other distributors are doing similarly. They just happened to be where I ended up when I went hunting for those particular parts. Reasonable price, local-ish source, prompt delivery. Can't go wrong with that in my book. Ordered a second set to give to the friend who turned me onto this (and who printed all the parts for my first (impending) build...]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ yes, you can print your own gears...that is, assuming you have a printer already.<br />
<br />
Yes Dark Alchemist, that's not a "bad" price. Although I suppose you can find it on ebay for less, if you're willing to wait a month for it to ship from China.<br />
<br />
If in the USA, you might also check out <a href="http://www.makerfarm.com" target="_blank"  rel="nofollow">MakerFarm</a>. They sell a pair of them with T2.5 belt for the x and y axes for around $25.]]></description>
