Yeah, just checked and it is.
Iād say if you were to print it with 60-100% infill in PLA itād probably be fine. Lower infill percentages if you use something tougher than PLA, like Nylon, PETG or high-durometer TPU. Only real way to test is to print some and torture them.
Because theyāre in compression it shouldnāt be too critical.

You wanting to break down, I hear
Whats the best way to put a design under a glass-frit deck?
Since you said ābestā Iām going to have to say ā pony up the cash to pay for a custom @Sender Skates deck skinning.

Yea i have the budget of a resold boosted board i dont think thats gonna work for my wallet 
What would be best for DIY side of things. Would spray paint for a very basic background work? or would i need some sort of special paint?
Epoxy a custom cloth from spoonflower and then add frit, but itās a delicate process that involves correct timing. I think @yelnats8j pulled it off successfully
I would not use paint under frit.

Yeah I did do it, but its a hell of a process and unless you plan on doing more then one deck your better off getting @Sender to do it for you.
@Astro the best way to do something budget thats nice and custom is use automotive paint to paint the top and cut custom grip tape.

why no paint? I was thinking of using a multi colored (purple/black/gray/little bit of pink) spray paint galaxy like background with white glass frit as the stars. I made a design on my ceiling using spray paint that I think would look dope on a board if i got the colors right.
Paint creates a barrier between the epoxy and the deck making it a weak bond.

@yelnats8j @b264 Thanks for clearing everything up for me. One last thing, do you know how much Sender typically prices his designs at or is it design-specific?
I think if you donāt make your own design and send it to spoonflower than you have to contract someone else to do that part as well. I know @mmaner is handy in those ways.
You can also choose from the tens of thousands of designs they already have

Tim and Mike will take care of the design from spoonflower for you once you decide what you want or design something yourself. Typical pricing starts around $175 I believe assuming you donāt want to add carbon fiber or fiber glass to the board also. I honestly looked up pricing to diy it but itās going to cost about 120 or so just for first time materials. Timās work is worth the money and priced quite reasonably.

Anyone know what size grubs these dickyho pulleys take? Waited forever for these and they forgot to send the screws. I swear 1/10 esk8 vendors donāt fuck orders up 
=/
I donāt have any, and I donāt know, but Iāve seen enough pulleys to confidently say they are
75% chance M4
20% chance M5
5% chance M3
0% chance FUB
Also the ones in the photo look M4
I think theyāre M5 I tried em with one I got lying around but the pitch is different. Will take it to the hardware store tomorrow and try some things out.

They might be M4 x 0.7 or M5 x 0.8 then, are you using M4 x 0.5 or M5 x 0.5?
itās definitely M5, M4 was too small. Iām guessing M5 X 0.8? Could be M5 X 1.0? Iām really not sure, but the thread doesnāt work.

I donāt know about Minneapolis but here in Saint Louis there are zero or MAYBE one mom-and-pop hardware store that would have anything like this. Certainly not Home Depot or Loweās or Menardās
I have to order almost everything online.
There should only be two M5 size, normal and fine, or M5 x 0.8 and M5 x 0.5
