Glad to see 3D printed wheels are working for you guys, in at least some extent. I think they've got the potential to open up custom wheels for a lot of teams that may have not had that option available before.

Ill try and find the wheel at the shop tonight and upload it later. we believe the reason for the failure was because of the less then ideal shaft size causing the forces not to be distributed over a large enough area in the wheel. What size shaft do you guys use it looks like 3/4.
Also the 3/8 shaft is steel (not sure the exact alloy) and they have held up through 2 regionals plus practice in the shop, i dont expect to see any failures from them, but we have two spare drive sides that we can scavenge off of if they start to fail.
