Anyone have any ideas where I can find an 8mm filament driver for a plastruder type extruder project?

I've never seen one, but in theory, couldn't you just get the designs for the 3mm and drill out the hole to well, any required diameter? From what I remember from the plastruder I had, that seems a pretty easy option.

The maker gear plastruder has an 8mm shaft I believe that's why I was asking. I could use a smaller size and drill it out. Any idea where I can find one?

The MakerGear drive is a gear from SDP/SI. I don't have the part number handy, but it has been posted in the MakerGear Google group a couple times.
