Has anyone ever made any? Was wondering if anyone can help with some ideas?

No these will be for a tunnel boring machine. So basically just the belt and the "guts" inside.

The kpi one looks brilliant. what material you going to use for the belt and where you got/getting them from?

Great builds! I have designed a 1/50 stacker based on their product line and unfortunately have had no time to build it. In the past I have used bicycle inter tubes for belting. It has a thin profile and you can make any width desired and for the laces I used just plain thread. Personally I have only done this to try it over 2pulleys and it worked great. Hopefully this helps although I have few posts and scratch builds to share. I'D love to see more detail shots of both stackers

I managed to find some nice fine black ribbon at wall mart for around 3 dollars. seems to work ok, and its simple to cut to any width belt needed
