I heard that.... and I was disappointed. Fortunately we have lots of old gearboxes stocked up from previous years, so we have lots of lightweight plastic hex bore 20dp gears laying around. R24 seems to grant us access to use them all that we want. I saw at least 10 gearboxes in the shop, you need any?
If you have access to a mill, you could probably machine an octagonal shaft if needed. It sure is easier to use off-the-shelf hex stock though.
