Hey @DanielFjeld,

That's a good question.
I've tried many things over the years. The most standard soluiotn I've found is a M4 screw (the longer the better) with couple of nuts (one to secure the screw inside the holow shaft and then two-three to secure the encoder rotor)

In this project however, I've used a male and female screw that is usually used for fixing furniture. For fixing two cabinets together for example. I think it is from ikea, but I am not sure any more. I had it lying around.

It looks something like this:

Here is an amazon link , though I am not sure how long the amazon link with stay alive 😄
