If you really want to we probably could do it, it's at least double the price of Andymark. Wouldnt you know it, once i hit print on the second set, AM hubs came back in stock. I'd have to do math to figure the numbers out for you and I'm nowhere near ready to be in a BOM mood yet...

I'll put a kid on it tomorrow and run the numbers for you though.
Any update on the CAD of this wheel, and how they've been working for you?

We have some solid printing abilities, and if this saves weight we're definitely interested in trying a few out.

Also: How much filament is each wheel?
