In the end, I purchased the spring Lebois used and assembled it alongside this one; I'm still using an 8 mm threaded rod and bearings, thus a small adapter is necessary to connect a 12 mm to an 8 mm shaft. After intense racing sessions lasting several hours, the pedal broke due to the 4 mm bolts used which snapped the thin printed part where they were connected. To distribute some of the force applied when pressing the accelerator, I designed a front plate and also a connecting plate that would evenly spread out the pressure around the screw heads. It's essential to use large washers as well. I extensively tested the repaired pedals, and fortunately, it has been holding up without any issues so far; however, if you can print it in one single piece, it would be significantly better. I created a longer version of the design where the area where the screws are held is thicker, but I haven't had a chance to test it yet. I also designed separate parts for the Middle Support and Spring End Support. Recently, I added 8mm locking nuts on the outside which fit perfectly between the bearings, allowing any adapter to be used inside as long as there's another 8mm nut on the inside. The idea is to secure the pedal to the 8 mm shaft by using the 8mm nuts, and thus utilize the bearings for rotational movement. I also incorporated a different return system with levers and elongating springs. Additionally, I added adapters from KP08 bearing blocks and an 8mm threaded rod. The design has been split into two separate parts, making it suitable for small printers.
