Peristaltic pump conversion for a 3d printer

The secondary gear has space to press fit 625zz bearings. Modification on the body of the donor peristaltic pump is needed in order to fit the gears and drilling the base for the shafts. Also some pieces of 5mm shaft are needed. This project was over a year ago so i'm missing the original assembly files and i don't remember specifics like the reduction rate etc.. How I Designed This
