Default Plastic gear on a metal shaft
wrote:

You could file a flat or 2 or 3 on the shaft, and file/scratch a few
'keyways' on the gear, and use epoxy or loctite sleeve retainer.

If you put a good flat on the shaft, and line that up with a flat/
keyway in the gear, and maybe file a small groove around the shaft, or
file the flats so that they ramp the right way, it wouldn't matter of
the epoxy stuck to the gear or not.

Just putting in my two bits in favor of the Locktite sleeve retainer!
