BELT Drive Conversion - XTM Mammoth ST Pro

Looks good.

Have you checked out the mechanical mates in solidworks? There is an easy option for gearing. You should be able to work it out.

Did all the work myself, with a scroll saw for cutting, drill press for drilling, also chucked an end mill into the drill press for light milling.

The other components are "locked" together as mates, not synced together.
Sounds like I need to look into mechanical mates and add a ratio.

Thanks guys!

That's is pretty much it. You might need to add a circle sketch to your gears for the pitch diameters which you can then easily mate together using the gearing option under mechanical mates. Just line them up, and mate, and all should be sweet. Then you are a step away from connecting the front, center and rear pulleys together with belts.

Solidworks is fun. :)
