Some of you might be like me and try to get rid of motor screws, but then realize that you still need them for rack gears! Here is the solution. These rack gears have spots for two nylock nuts, with a cover to go over them so that they won't fall out. Now you can use the regular 8-32 screws with rack gears! Get rid of motor 6-32 screws forever!
Print one gear body and one bottom cover. Put two nylock nuts with nylock side towards the gear teeth. Three dabs of superglue and then glue the bottom cover on. The bumps on the bottom cover should face down, they will slot into the holes in bars and slides and such.
