How well does the Delrin hold up. Originally I had planned the plates to be Aluminum, but the Delrin sounds like it would be a neat idea, especially since it would mean less machining.

Another thing, would it work to replace some of the gears with brass? I heard that brass gears are supposed to work in, providing a better mesh. I am thinking of replacing most of the gears with aluminum/brass if that will work.
