L10 Pulley / KeyStock / Rotary shaft

Hi there! Thanks you so much for this project. It's very educational.

I've tried to 3D print and skip order a hardware kit. But I would like more information about the L10 pulley in the kit. What boar/size is it that match a 214L belt? It might be printable right?

Im living in Sweden and I have searched high and low to find "Metric key stock 2mm x 2mm" and "Keyed Rotary shaft 8mm"...I can order from McMaster-Carr but 100$ in shipping is not very cool.

Has anyone find a supplier in Europe? Or a different solution to the problem of having those?

The "Keyed Rotary shaft 8mm" is difficult to get in europe. I have been looking for it quite a while and the only source I found was: https://www.raptorsupplies.com/pd/keyshaft/8mm-gks-1045-300?web_source=DE&web_medium=header+country+flag (free shipping, at least to Germany...) In the end I used a normal rotary shaft and modified it a bit, so that the setscrews do the rest. Not the best solution, I guess but I could not convice myself to pay the price...

Looks interesting but I am not sure if it will handle the force. There are some fibre enforced filiaments which might do the trick.

Ah good idea

What the hell! 50 euro for it? No way. I had problems with both the j3 bearing-holder and getting those tiny m3 threads properly on the spindle so Im experimenting now with a complete 3D printed, skipping the 6mm shaft all together and with a T10 pulley on the end joined with m4 screws. No idea if its gonna work but.
