I printed the parts and unfortunately the shaft will not fit into my Atlas machine. The part has nubs on four "corners" of the shaft that goes into the Atlas, but my Atlas only has two nubs, opposite one another on a round shaft. I did not notice the difference in your drawings.
I no longer have access to a printer, so I am going to try grinding the two extra nubs off of the shaft.

Oh OK. I did not notice the slotted holes in your machine. I could take the machine apart once and make the slotted holes and put some shoulder screws I already have into the sleeve.

The two screws came from my bin of surplus screws (I just happened to have them on-hand), and the get assembled to the sleeve first.
After you assemble the shaft and sleeve in the KitchenAid, you can twist the pasta machine on to the screws (there are slotted mounting holes that are on either side of the drive shaft hole).
No need to take anything apart or drill holes (for me) -- those slotted mounting holes were already there.

Dave, do the two screws have to come from the inside of the pasta machine? Did you take the machine apart to drill the holes and mount the sleeve? If so, can I instead drill the holes from the outside and tap thread the holes so I can just use machine screws so the sleeve is removable?

<p>I don't have a kMix myself, but it looks like there is a similar way to connect attachments.</p><p>Without the measurements for the kMix, I'm at a loss. But I've provided the CAD files for my parts so you could edit them yourself. OpenSCAD is free, and then you can print the parts (or find a friend/shop with a 3d printer). </p><p>Good luck!</p>
