The prompt

A precision mechanical timing pulley sprocket with exactly 18 teeth, designed to be fully compatible with a Gates Carbon Drive bicycle belt (11mm pitch curvilinear tooth profile). The root radius (base of the teeth) must be exactly 31.5mm. The tooth height must be 4mm, making the outer tip radius exactly 35.5mm. Each tooth must have a width of 4mm at the top and a parabolic profile. The grooves (valleys) between teeth must be 7mm wide. The total face width (gear thickness) must be exactly 10mm. The center must feature a solid, integrated hub with a perfectly centered D-profile bore (flat-sided double-D shaft hole with 5.4mm diameter) specifically designed to mate with a standard Arduino yellow plastic DC gear motor spindle. Clean geometry, manifold, watertight 3D model, no textures, ready for 3D printing.
