AI Thread Summary
To adapt a 3.17 mm diameter motor shaft to a 5 mm connector, a suitable solution is to use an adapter sleeve. The sleeve should have an inner diameter of 3.17 mm and an outer diameter of 5 mm. A recommended approach is to search for "adapter sleeve 1/8 inch to 5 mm" on platforms like Amazon, where various options are available. These sleeves typically feature a hole for a setscrew, which secures the sleeve to the shaft by pressing directly onto it, ensuring a proper fit and functionality.

TL;DR Summary
Understand to solve 3.17 mm d. shaft function as 5 mm one
Anyone understand to do as correctly as possible on 3.17 mm d. shaft function as 5 mm one, as the available affordable is motor shaft 3.17 mm diameter and the (leftmost image of adv.) connector/adapter of 5 mm diameter M10 ?
So what'd be the most suitable pad/filler and how is to do it?

I think what you are asking for is a sleeve to adapt a 3.17 mm shaft to a 5 mm hole. If so, try searching Amazon using search terms adaptor sleeve 1/8 inch to 5 mm. That search found a number of sleeves such as this one:

The hole in the side of the sleeve is for the setscrew to go through and press directly on the 3.17 mm shaft.
 
The idea is to use water to shift the centre of gravity of the pendulum by a small amount. The pendulum rod will have a tube closed at the bottom and open at the top. A second similar tube will be mounted nearby and will act as a reservoir. The water will be transferred using a peristaltic pump driven by a stepper motor and will travel via a thin flexible silicon tube. A loop arrangement will minimise friction at the pendulum's fulcrum. The silicon tube will extend to the bottom of the...
Philips Hue was the very first provider of smart LED bulbs that can be controlled wirelessly. Over the years, as Philips sold ever improved models of smartbulbs, it became very difficult to identify exactly which model one of their bulbs is. Once I've installed a smart bulb, there is some additional information in the Hue app about the bulb model, but even then, I found that it requires information from both the app and from what's printed on the outside of bulb to be sure what the actual...
