And that’s where the wear would occur.

Thank-you sir for the reply. I was thinking of doign similar for a conveyer, but wasn't sure the 3D printed parts would hold up well enough to the weight from the material. Your system is larger than the one I'll be building. Since they work well on your belt, I'm certain they will suffice on a 3inch wide belt. Thanks again, coop, for the info & help.
