Feeder gear slipping no more! I took my wanhoa i3 v1 and gutted it to make a new printer. If you have the standard brass feed gear I highly recommend this steel one

It only has one set screw and appears to be 3D printered as well. The surface is rough which also helps the gripping. It really bites into the filament.
The outer diameter of the brass one was about 10.8mm and the steel one was 11.0mm so not much difference but still had to calibrate the e-steps for the extrude.
