Small gear have to large shaft hole

[Cavada76]

I'm was printing the small gear for the stepper motor, but it's to lose. Is there a way to edit the scad file to make the shaft hole 5,1mm and flat area 3,1mm. Never tried scad before, so need some help, please.

Best regards

Hi @Cavada76, that shouldn't be too tricky, though to be honest my usual approach is to put some electrical tape over the hole before pushing the motor in - the tape is slightly squishy, which helps the push-fit work more reliably.

Also, I am moving this repository - the new home for the project is on GitLab. If you were able to open an issue there, that would be immensely helpful. You can sign in with your GitHub account so there's no need to make another password...

I'm trying not to propagate links to the old repository, so if you ask your question on the new repository, I'll post some links to the places you'd need to tweak the size of the part there.

Thanks!
