EDIT:
I think I understand what you meant. I was intending for the one I made to be printed upside down compared to the way I believe you were printing it. Reason I chose the way I did was so that the hex pattern would come out right but to each their own.

I'm printing on a Stratasys machine with soluble support.
As I don't have the freedom you do to change parts, I'm stuck at a .010" nozzle. Also, the radii in the fillets required support material to print, thus the savings in material. I always forget that not all printers work like that...
However, I did start printing 8 sets of hubs yesterday and then left school. Went back to check on them today and I only have until 10:00 and they'll be done. The saving grace of an expensive machine like a Stratasys is that it is like an appliance rather than a hobby printer. The ability to print overnight without having to babysit sure is nice when you print a 33 hour long print job...
