I made a 3d printed shredder (13)
I tried. Any suggestions?

Just keep experimenting. Try to develop little tests to see what's causing your issue. It can be tempting to change a lot of things at once to try fix issues. It's important to be patient and test only one change at a time. Otherwise you don't know what change causes what behavior. Creating something is a slow iterative process. 3d printing creators only show you the parts that worked, not the ones that failed, which can give the false impression that they do this stuff quickly and without issues.
You're on the right track! Creating the initial design is the hardest part. Now it's small refinement time
thank you so much for your kind words! I'm right now working on a 2 shaft shredder. Definitely learning so much with 3D modeling.
One thing that I struggle with is the fact that I don't have a lot of printers, so they take forever haha
That's a pretty big shredder. Maybe try printing a half sized one for your testing so it prints faster, then scale it up once you have a design you like
