After realizing that other items, similar to this one, require too much elbow grease after print work, I wanted to design a new one, as a print in place and assemble. No additional processing is required.
After all, the Alpha and Beta testing we finally managed to find the best design for the print and assemble mantra.
After your print is done and if your printer is tuned, you should be able to assemble everything without any effort. After it, is assembled just put a toothpick through holes in the gear and shaft to lock them in place. Cut out the rest of the toothpick and it should all work like a charm right from the start.
If anyone is interested in commercial use please contact me.
