About this model

The crank broke on the first use so I modified it to use a two piece hex shaft. I left a very tight clearance of .3mm so mine snaped together without glue. I suggest you print the gear and the crank first them trim or scale the hex shaft as needed.. The hex shaft is a two piece print for strength. I made this all in PLA on a Bambu labs X1C.
