Hi Etienne, how did you find the right drill for the job? GHW is a very recommended shop, I ordered five of these.

Thanks to everybody for all the advice. Before I saw your reply,
I ordered a couple of gears from SDP:

They arrived in only a couple of days, and my printer is already fixed! Their gear is probably identical to the one that PIC-Design
sells. I had to trim one end, and use a 3/32"-to-1/8" sleeve.
For the sleeve, I used a bit of brass tubing that I got at
a hobby store. It was 3/32" ID and 1/8" OD, and it fit perfectly.
I also rebuilt my battery pack with the assembled cells from
Digi-Key.
Thanks again to hpmuseum.org and this forum for all the help!
