I'm going crazy. Days for make a curved conveyor that start with circle and end with a rectangle , the sweep along ONE edge produce all the sort of result but not ONE close to what also a simple look would think.

It has been said many times here that to have a better chance of success, 3 conditions must be met:
-have the same number of segments in the 2 extremities (and also the intermediate sections) in your case you have to make a circle in 4 arcs
-draw the sections in the same direction (from left to right or the other way around, but the same direction)
-it is preferable to make the path in the center (not imperative)
