We do have an ABS printer in house that we use for lots of different parts, but the material it uses isn't as strong and the grain isn't as fine (not sure about the exact details). This was done by a friend at Stratasys.

Edit: beaten to the punch. Also, I should give a shout out to 207, where we got the inspiration for this. We wanted a one piece, no hardware, direct driven wheel, but all our options were very expensive or required a lot of machining time ... this has so far turned out to be a perfect alternative.
