[quote=waiex191]Excellent discussion, thanks all. We do have one heated bed machine in the family, an Ender 3. My kid has it back at his college apartment. We will look into the different filaments. $50/KG doesn't seem too bad.
Mainly right now I'm working on the geometry of the design. The latest is set up for #6 screws and nuts.

At work we have resin printers. We have actually used those parts to make couplings to drive rotating equipment under test. Not as durable as the steel parts but cheap, fast, and easy enough to replace for an endurance test. We have also been going to vendors to have parts printed in aluminum and inconel. Cool stuff, but a bit out of my price range.

John, I had also considered this as a good project. Did you publish on thingiverse or anywhere?
Thanks,[/quote]
