I have been having trouble getting a good coupler design working on the Z axis of a new printer I'm working on. This was the final result. It couples a 5mm motor shaft with a 10mm lead screw. If you need another size, let me know, and I'll make it. Also, I can share whatever format OnShape exports.
It's basically a collet with two clamps. Three screws clamp it down, and it works very well so far. Self-centering, strong, clamps really well.
