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.
 
Some time ago I posted this Raspberry PI DIY Mass Spec using Raman Scattering. It's was something of a cumbersome project though, needing a 3D printer and special heat-resistant plastic giving of carcinogenic fumes during printing. To be blunt it was also not very mobile and interpreting the results was further cumbersome Recently though, I've been told that Arduino, and it's various sensor packages, has matured to the point where it's a usable alternative. Now I realize that a cigarette...
Thread 'Nonlinear rubberband type thing - "k" dropping fast as it is stretched'
What materials can I try in order to get a curve of displacement versus force that looks somewhat like this.. (of course, there would be a small kink around the origin where the ends of the rubberband are closer together than its length, which is not shown here). I am looking for something that will last at least 100 stretch cycles and is not messy, so for example liquid based colloidal stuff won't be suitable. Is there something one can whip up using silicone and some additive, say? Or...
