Motor shafts

So after losing control of my X525 I now have three of the four motors with slightly bent shafts.
I have spent so long looking for replacement shafts for an Angel a2212 800kv motor, which is 3mm x 40mm and had no luck. There are other shafts for different motors but not these and so I am going to make my own.

The worst that can happen is that I will fail.

Go for it! haha. The shafts might be a little harder than mild steel, but I managed to straiten one on a bearing press, then stick it in a vice and finish it off by tapping it. Get it to where you are pretty sure it is strait and then roll it on a really flat surface like a piece of steel or a formica counter top. Also if the diameter is fine, and the new shaft is long enough you should be able to use one meant for a different motor. Even if you have to take a file and put the flat spot where it belongs.

If you have some 3mm rod you can use it, as many motors come with a collar that has a set screw. Otherwise @ringolong's second link should work.
