If you do decide to print hub, make sure that the flange is very stout as that is what de-laminated on us.

It was a fun experiment, but unfortunately it wasn't meant to be.
Interesting. Which part broke exactly?

EDIT: Did another read through. So if the hub delaminated, are you printing in ABS?

I think we'll print one of these up in PLA at ~20% infill, and see what happens. I'll post results here after we're done.
