I wish we could find a better solution than grub screws for attaching pulleys to shafts in 3D printing. Small-scale requirements make it difficult to use other industrial systems.

Grub screws often loosen under the effect of vibration even with Loctite. They also introduce eccentricity. And the tip of the grub screws marks the shaft, making it difficult to remove the pulley.

Any idea how we could improve this?

One of the most interesting 3D printing tech video I have seen in a while. Building an extruder isn't just about push force and weight, it is a lot more complex. To the point it is really difficult to make an in depth review. We can see how advanced E3D is in their R&D. Also, some good questions from Stefan and Tom.
