Plastic pulleys
How many of pulleys is in creator pro ? Trying to count them and can see 8 but don't want to miss anything
They are 16 teeth all ?
My pulleys are full plastic so going to order a metal replacement now and thinking about to change it with next time my printer will be in the maintenance mode I don't trust any mechanical parts made of plastic

I wouldn't worry about the idler pulleys, like the 2 front for the y axis and the left on the x axis. That will reduce the amount by 3 if you have to change to aluminum.
The duty cycle on these pulleys is very low even for plastic. They won't even get warm, let alone distort or melt from heat.
