When they say 8 sheets, they really mean it!
The center gear on this shredder sheared off after a bit of overuse. When I emailed the company, they said they would not provide me a replacement part as a matter of company policy and "for consumer protection." They also refused to repair it since it is out of warranty.
So, I'm submitting a 3D model of the gear so you don't have to throw away your $40 paper shredder if this happens to you. You're risking your life to install it, you know, so be careful.
If you have a 3D printer, awesome. If you don't, you can find a 3D printing service online that can make it for you. I'd recommend making it with an SLS process, but I made mine out of ABS on a standard FDM printer and it seems to work fine.
Enjoy!
