I've tried that method before, turning down wooden dowels in the lathe, a tight belt doesn't want to sink in such a narrow groove, my slopes were about 15 degrees with a 2,5 inch width... the way Cooper did it with a wide center & 20 degree <?> angled rollers on 4 inch width belt looks like it holds a V good.

If this doesn't work, I'll try something like RubAdub has done. I didn't want to copy his work, without first trying an alternative method. I've still got a long way to go with this system before it's ready to test. I have 5 rollers & 2 brackets printed. The first roller I printed with 25% infill & honeycomb as the infill. It took 12 hours. The second & subsequent rollers are printed at 25% infill, but are rectangular infill pattern. With the second try I can print a roller in about 6.5 to 7 hours.
