Description
This is a chopper wheel for optical and optoelectronic experiments.
This component is part of the open-source optics project, whose goal is to radically reduce the cost of scientific optical hardware: appropedia.org/Open_source_optics by the Michigan Tech's Open Sustainability Technology Research Group. mse.mtu.edu/MOST

Instructions
Use the OpenSCAD files to customize it for your application, print on your favorite open source 3-D printer and enjoy. It is only one number that controls the number of slots. 4, 10 and 14 slot stl files are shown as examples and should cover from low frequency to about 1400 Hz. You can of course go higher if you need to.
Included are the code for wheels with a nut cage for mounting firmly to a spinning shaft.
