Out racing last night so didn't see the posts from Greg until late.
Interesting on the fit of the collar, on the ones I have printed so far (6 off), the black PLA + (ESUN ePLA ST) is prone to swelling and the collars are a quite tight, the white is some old Creality PLA that came with a printer and this is slides off more easily but is still retained.
By design the shaft diameter is 10mm, the collar ID is 10.5mm and relies on the interference of the radius and force on the allen key to hold but still can be removed easily.
Given how the collar works it was inevitable it would need tweaking for best results due to all the variables involved.
The system won't accept Step files but can post DWG. (Jason B can this be amended or is there an issue with Step files I think this has been raised before.)
Cheers
John
Edit System won't accept DXF either so have used DWG.
