The Precious Plastic shredder is great. By using 1" hex shaft and 1" hex bearings, we avoid machining the shaft ends. Using 3D printing, a hex coupler is obtained readily, printed at 100% infill.
The advantage of using hex for the coupler is not needing keyways or set screws, though these can be used for additional holding force.
If PLA is 7250 PSI, that is 1/5 of mild steel. Thus, a plastic coupler can readily do 1000s of lbs of shaft holding force. FOr example, on a 1" shaft, one can likely attain 15000 in lb of hold using a coupler with 3/4" walls. It is useful to use a coupler with a metal sleeve, using 2" schedule 40 pipe, with the coupler press fit inside of the sleeve for a metal-plastic composite coupler. The plastic walls in this case would be around .5".
