Update 2: Turning the Z axis up and down with the wheel is definitely better than using the coupling, but I've found that it's still a bit tedious. That's why I created this little add-on for the big wheel.
Update: I reinforced the structure a little so that nothing breaks when screwing it on.
I converted the original Kywoo3D extruder wheel to a z axis wheel.
I created a big wheel and a smaller one.
The smaller one fits on the unmodified Kywoo3D Tycoon printer, but I haven't tried it.
Since it is a bit more complicated to attach a wheel to the spindle with the Kywoo3D Tycoon printers, I decided to create two parts.
The second part is screwed to the wheel with M3 nuts, with short M3 screws, and simply clamps the T8 threaded spindle.
Don't screw the screws too loose and don't screw them too tight with PLA!
I'm always open to comments for improvement!
