Re: Encoder codewheel slipping on CIMple shaft

Sometimes the manufacturing tolerances conspire to make the disks very loose. I've also encountered problems in the other direction before, where the encoder disk wouldn't fit without applying uncomfortably high pressure.

A few years ago I think there was a semi-official document from AndyMark showing how to use a pair of pliers to carefully squeeze the plastic and make it fit a bit more snugly.
