Description
I designed this thing to replace the vinyl tubing coupler that comes with the Printrbot Simple, I was able to reduce my wobble by quite a lot.

Here is a sample video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PXRKspDVld0

Printing Instructions
Print and assemble, the coupler should be tight enough to be snug, but not so tight that you can’t get the 5mm motor shaft or the 5/16in threaded rod in all the way. If you force it tooooo much the coupler could get out of alignment.

If the fit is too tight or too loose try printing at a few percent larger or smaller.
