Product Description
What & Why
There are options available today to replace the worn eject-gear in your Macintosh floppy drive, but you may find they cost signicantly more than this listing. I'm making all variants available with a $0.50 markup over the manufacturing cost.
Variants
All variants are the same price due to the weird pricing algorithm Shapeways uses... so I recommend buying the largest option and giving these to anyone who needs one!
Open Source
Do you like free STL files more? Or maybe you can think of an improvement? Head on over to Thingiverse and download the STL or the source (Solidworks .sldprt file).
Warning
I have iterated on several prototype designs and feel you will like this design, but please consider this design "beta". You can find a video of this replacement gear in action here.
Confirmed Drives
This is a list of drives confirmed to work with the replacement gear. If you experience success or failure please share it for the broader community.
