Saying hello and asking for help

Messdaddy

Have not been printing very long with my printer, about 3 weeks now and loving it. The problem I have is the same I am sure many folks have. I need the right coupler for my printer. I just cannot find them can anyone out there help me please, right now it is being held down with zip ties not sure how long that will last though. Thanks in advance.

I'm sure you can find them cheaper if you look around on Amazon, aliexpress, gearbest, etc. but here are two sources:

Its a generic 8mm lead screw to 5mm stepper motor shaft coupler - some people switch to solid, some stay with stretch type

Welcome @Messdaddy - do you mean bowden coupler or motor coupler?

If Bowden coupler, either buy one from aliexpress, or contact Kevin Van Deusen over at https://computersourcesc.com/ and tell him I sent you.
