+Three type of conveyor ends have been used successfully:
+Motor end in ¾” MDF
+Pulley end in ¾ MDF
+Pulley end in ¼ MDF
+
+These pulleys built from ¾” frames have turned out way better than I thought they would. I first used 1mm thick belting at 100RP; this was a bit under powered. All the power is used to move the thick belts. It would move a full gallon of milk with no issues. 
+
+With the 0.15mm thick belting that is currently be used the motors can be smaller, especially if you put in ball bearings. 
+
+Motor end in ¾” MDF Parts:
+25MM Gear motor, 4mm shaft 100-1000RPM
+2 motor mount screws: M3-0.5 6 mm screws
+3D printed gearbox bracket
+3D printed D-coupling to take motor 4mm ID “D” to ¼” OD
+Coupling: Polyurethane Tubing, ½” OD, ¼” ID. 
+Coupling: Zip/cable Ties: 4”
+75mm long ¼” steel shaft
+35 mm long 3D printed pulley. 22mm diameter. 
+Drilled with “D”0.246” drill to press fit on ¼” shaft
+2 3D printed Pulley Holders. 
+2 Bushings: stock nylon shoulder spacers ½” Long, ¼” ID, 5/16” ID, ½” ID Flange
+3 8” zip/cable ties hold on the gearbox bracket & pulley holders
+
+Pulley end in ¾ MDF
+Same as motor side, except 60mm long shaft. 
+
+
+Pulley end in ¼” MDF:
+Pulley end ¼” is 60mm wide
+1/8” steel shaft, 60mm long
+4 ¼” diameter nylon spacers, 1/8” hole, ½” long, Center spacer has tape to make it crown. 
+Wood is cutout for the pulleys
+Remaining wood is drilled 1/8”
+It’s pretty crude and fragile, but once it starts working I have yet to see fail. 
+It’s easy to drill so the shaft is not straight. Then the belt walks to one side. 
+
+Conveyor Belt:
+30mm wide, 0.15mm thick Polyurethane
+Normally used for sealing fabric together, under garment strapping, etc.
+Sold as “TPU Tape” on Aliexpress.com
+Length wise sized 5% under  
+Bonded together with a standard impulse heat sealer used for sealing poly plastic bags. 
+
+
+Speed Controllers:
+The first proof of concept had 24V power stepped down to 5 to 18 volts for the 12V motors with DC-DC LM2596 modules. This are really common, $1-2 on eBay, Amazon, etc. The system moving coins with motors running at 5-7 volts is surprisingly quiet with the coin hopper turned off.
