(like how much less than the 3mm diameter is cut). I'd like to make a hole of the same shape on my CAD of a part to be 3D printed.</p>

You would just need to find a shaft length that is suitable for your project. Here's an example from ServoCity using a shaft coupler with a micro gearmotor => [ <a href="https://www.servocity.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/438x280/602f0fa2c1f0d1ba5e241f914e856ff9/c/o/coupler_on_gearmotor_with_shafting.jpg" rel="nofollow">https://www.servocity.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/438x280/602f0fa2c1f0d1ba5e241f914e856ff9/c/o/coupler_on_gearmotor_with_shafting.jpg</a> ].</p></p>

Or better, how to make a secure connection without soldering?<p>Are these motors supposed to come with 6" long wires (listed under Dimensions)?
Because my motors didn't come with wires...</p></p>
