We definately aren't planning on using these, especially since they are hollow. We will probably machine them out of 7075 aluminum (That's what's the engineers tell me; I just started learning drivetrains & machining this summer and I usually program).

We RPed them because the machinist wanted to show off his RP machine, and it's nice to be able to show team members something other than a CAD drawing.

I'm not sure what you mean about the holes, but the RP machine didn't like the tapped holes on any of the pieces and printed them as if they weren't tapped.

After talking with Cory from 254, we came to the conclusion that the 2005 models would be better than the 2006 ones because it allows us to adjust to different shaft sizes easier. What do you think about this?
