Maybe this design of my 'compact carrier' helps understanding? It is designed for 'Bosch slot5' extrusions and works surprisingly well on my Delta. They are made of PETG, which allows me to tighten the belt without breaking the clamping part.

@o_lampe To connect open belt together in a 'twisted' fashion, I simply CA-glued them. That's strong enough, but only works on straights. No bending allowed.

No problems, I have had no failures in the belts on three printers. As I said though, toothed belt materials vary and rubber impregnated with a solid lubricant is is likely to have different adhesion to plain rubber. I would add to your comment though about jigs: It is useful not only to have a good cutting jig, but also a good assembly jig, especially with CA as the parts should be presented without any sliding movement and maintained under pressure until the bond has formed.

Archiclem... I built a printer in the design style of a Cetus. Here's the link to the respective forum thread. While I didn't put all the belts inside the extrusions, this might help. If you have any questions just ask.
