Ready for an FRC robot: the bore fits REV ½" rounded hex shaft, with SH-50 retaining-ring grooves on both faces and a splined washer under each ring so nothing walks along the shaft.
Using the CheapCAD Tools connector, design a two-pulley timing belt drive: HTD 5M belt, 24 and 36 teeth, about 160 mm between centres. Bore both pulleys for ½" rounded hex shaft (REV style: 12.7 mm across flats, 13.75 mm across corners) with inch retaining-ring grooves on both faces and a splined washer under each ring, and give each a hub 30 mm across and 8 mm tall. The 36-tooth pulley gets printed flanges, with its top flange printed as a separate part. Check the design, apply any Auto-fix it suggests, then export both pulleys as STL and give me the download link.

Read from the generator's Dimensions panel for this design, which opens with no warnings.
Built like a machined part: ISO 773 keyways sized to 12 mm and 20 mm shafts, M5 set screws to lock them, and flanges drawn as bent metal plates instead of printed rims.
Splined like a gearbox shaft: ISO 4156 involute splines in module 1, with a flat root at 30° on the small pulley and a fillet root at 37.5° on the large one.
Heavy-duty HTD 8M on splined shafts: straight-sided ISO 14 splines carry torque no set screw could, and the 36-tooth pulley is spoked around its spline hub.
Industrial scale: an HTD 14M drive for a 40 mm belt, keyed 35 mm and 50 mm bores, a spoked 36-tooth pulley over 160 mm across, and metal-plate flanges.
