The motor coupling on my washing machine failed. I found the rubber center section from this 285753 Motor Coupling for Whirlpool Direct Drive Top Load Washer by OnShape - Thingiverse and printed in TPU, but then discovered that the plastic parts that slide onto the shaft of the motor and gearbox were worn too. The model above (and a remixed version) are available to print as is, but I was worried about the strength of the print due to print orientation. So I designed this multi-part version. 

You'll need one base and 3 fingers per unit. The fingers are held into the base by a section of raw filament inserted through the pieces to pin them together. I melted the ends of the filament pin and smashed them flat.

Print the fingers with the hole flat to the build plate.

Printed in PETG - 4 perimeters - 15% gyroid infill. 

This is an experimental print. Not sure how long it will hold up. I do have a replacement ordered just in case this fails (affiliate link) https://amzn.to/4qWVwu7
