I think you have 2-4 too many pockets, but proper build season planning can offset the machine time in the case of a drive gearbox.
Yeah I agree. Next time I'll work on keeping things closer to the bulk of the body, or just put a ring around everything. I put these extra standoffs as support for the cims, but I realize that a whole another set of standoffs is unnecessary.

I personally don't think that pockets are a time problem for machining, as a water jet or CNC mill would zip right through them in a matter of minutes. But I will definitely work on simplifying the structure a bit more.
