Re: FRC Bearing Load Ratings (Climber Winch)

Slightly off-topic but does anyone have experience using 3D printed bushings? We want to 3D print a 5mm hex bushing to interface with REV Robotics' 5mm hex shaft[1], but we want to make sure the 3D printed bushing won't crack under load[3]. We are planning on printing a few and testing them by hand, but if anyone has any info on this, I would appreciate it.[4]



[1]http://www.revrobotics.com/rev-41-1349/[2]
[2]I know they sell bushings for that purpose, but we don't want to have to wait for them to ship overseas.
[3]To be clear, this is not the load of the climber. This is a small flap we are actuating with a REV Smart Robot Servo. The flap is only taking a few pounds of force total.
[4]Both empirical and anecdotal information is welcome. If anyone has any ideas on how to lathe and mill that small of a hex bushing that would be welcome too.
