I agree, milling is the way to be, but as a prototype, this I find is cheaper. Besides, whats cooler than a crab drive that was printed and works? Obviously I wouldn't put this on a robot, it would be destroyed before you knew it, but for proof-of-concept, its great. Who knows though, one day we may see an all Lexan (or some other strong plastic) robot...how cool would that be?
