Tyco/PPM Quad 8mm Feeder Tape Peeler Upgrade Rollers - Plastic Gears And Belt

Description

This is a custom designed and 3D printed replacement tape peeler upgrade tape peeler gear pair for the Tyco / PPM Quad series 8mm feeder units. This solution replaces the factory urethane-based friction and metal pressure rollers with meshing gears made of solid PLA plastic. The indexing motor can almost be stalled by holding onto the tape, say goodbye to tape peeling problems!
This upgrade kit includes 2 upgrade gears, a 4-40 set screw and a replacement drive belt for the tape take up reel, enough to repair a single 8mm feeder. These will work with both IQ and non-IQ feeders. Any friction rollers that have melted down due to heat and humidity that have any residue left behind would need to be cleaned off with isopropyl alcohol as to prevent gumming up the new tape peeler rollers. Please do not over torque the set screw as it will strip the threads, just hand snug will work.
Please note, this listing is for the upgrade gears, set screw and replacement drive belt only, the feeders and other items in the pictures are for reference only. Shipping is first class mail for free but can be upgraded to priority at the customer's expense. These are 3D printed using FDM and the process isn't perfect. There may be minor defects such as waves, "burns" or "strings" that should not affect the performance of these upgrade units. The product will look layered, but that is how FDM works. There may be some fine material left over from drilling and tapping for the set screw. We do guarantee that they will be free of defects that would prevent them from working though. The rollers may have a tight fit, do not force them, just use a reamer or a small file to gently open up the holes and they should slide into place without any issues.
The fit on the D-Shaft will feel sloppy. This is by design due to fit issues that I have run into where the D-Shaft has been deformed by an overtight set screw.
