Timing belt.
Wikipedia Toothed belt

The GT2 timing belt is a possible replacement for T2.5 and T5 timing belts that some believe may cause backlash. The GT2 series of belts are designed specifically for linear motion. They use a rounded tooth profile that guarantees that the belt tooth fits smoothly and accurately in the pulley groove, so when you reverse the pulley direction, there is no room for the belt to move in the groove.

Stock Drive Products

In the US, the best source is SDP/SI. They sell a huge variety of belts and pulleys that meet our needs. Always call SDP/SI for stock, their website is always out of date.

Note, unfortunately, SDP/SI does not carry a smaller diameter GT2 pulley with a 5mm bore, so to buy your pulleys here you need a larger pulley than in strictly ideal. These are fine, though. I use the 36 tooth pulleys on my printer and they work great.

RobotDigg

GT2 pulley 20 teeth 5mm bore and 8mm bore from stock. GT2 pulley 36 teeth 5mm bore from stock, can be redrill to 6.35mm or 8mm bore to fix.

Misumi

Another good source for GT2 pulleys and belts is Misumi. They carry a huge variety of suitable pulleys, including several that are closer to out ideal diameter. In addition, Misumi has offices around the globe so they are a better choice for international customers (though some regions will only sell to businesses).

Their website does not make it easy to browse for belts and pulleys, but here are the relevent pages in their catalog:

Note: Misumi calls theirs 2GT (2mm pitch) and 3GT (3mm pitch). As far as I know they are compatible with GT2, but both offer the same benefits. Misumi's pulleys seem expensive, but they are metal pulleys. We don't really need metal pulleys for our needs, but they are fine.
