Re: Using PTO Hub in Transmission Gearboxes

I wonder if you could actually print this hub? Not out of ABS or PLA, but something more substantial, like Ultem 9085 or even 1010 if you can get your hands on the blasted stuff. I know that if you shift at the appropriate times for whatever ratios you have, the forces on the god would be much smaller, but they'd still be significant. Maybe having a pretty slight first reduction so that the shifting occurs at a higher RPM with less torque?

It's probably not practical to print it, but it might be interesting.
