    I can think of two supporting material if you want to watch it. The TREADS course of course:

    And an old but goodie filled with timeless knowledge:

    The rubber wheel and the treadmill were finished. One more thing left is to have all three pieces and submit them for Sketchfab.
    Should I join them together as one and save it as obj format or move them into collection? I don't know what to do. I'm stuck at this part.

    Turned out cool. I don't understand how you were stuck in the array and yet you were making this beauty.

    Yeah you can apply all modifiers, join the objects and save as OBJ, it should work fine. Remember to make a file save as though, since that is very destructive.

    @Dostovel This one is from Jonathan Lampell's course, which is easy to do. The treadmill was modified with a bezier circle to bend and rounded and the rim was done by a mirror modifier without the array modifier. I had to do it manually. 
    The one I was stuck on is from Jonathan Williams, which are pretty difficult and advanced to me. I'm still struggling with the array modifier and the empty. It'll take awhile for me to grasp the understanding.
