How to model GT2 gear belt teeth?

Hi,
For a project I'm working on I need to make a pulley with a hole ID 4.5" and GT2 timing belt teeth on the outside. How do I model these teeth?

    I created a similar thing for HTD pulleys. My solution was to download the cad of a preexisting HTD pulley, delete everything but a tooth, and create a variable-driven generator with circular pattern that creates 3d printable pulleys of any tooth count. Not great if you need to adjust the profile like htd 5mm vs 3mm, but if the profile is staying the same you can just do that. 
    Any chance Onshape is looking for interns?
