Hi all,
I don't post here much but I thought I would share this here in case it is of any value to anyone.
I recently bought a "junk" Neo Geo CD top loader. The discs wouldn't spin and the spindle was crunked. When I went to adjust the spindle height it practically disintegrated into dust.
I decided to go for a long shot and design a 3D printed replacement, since I could not find a "real" replacement anywhere. So far it is working _really_ well. I am shocked to be honest as I am not a 3d designer by any stretch.
Anywho, I am going to share it here for any one to try out and see if it works for you as well:

I have no idea how long it will last but I can always print another if it dies on me.
