Because it will scare away customers

Do you think anyone has actually bought one? Priced more expensive than more reliable alternatives. What are you actually paying for! :joy:

I need to see graphs and Excel sheets.

No graphs = no proper testing

Two sets out this week :slight_smile:

Curious choice of print orientation on these.

Anyone looking to buy these: I am not sure I can recommend any FDM 3D printed hub, much less one printed on a hobby grade FDM printer with a questionable print orientation.

OP has stated these have less than a thousand miles (650) as the sole tester, I would not expect these to last vs impacts + lifetime usage. They also did not design these, and are making some pretty major assumptions without putting in due diligence.

Pointing to a video showing you riding them does not constitute proper testing. That OP doesn’t know this is concerning.

Our bodies get broken when our parts fail. A critical, moving, load bearing component is not the place you want to use printed plastic in. Eventually it will fail, you do not want to be in traffic when it happens.

Completely agree, a warning label should be added to the thread title imo.

Ehhhhh i can’t get on board with that. Unless the OP adds it himself, i don’t agree with his title being hacked, no matter how stupid his product is.

I’m going to derail this thread just a bit,

I can understand why there is serious concern over a 3d printed hub. The loads on hubs are no joke and failure of a hub/wheel can lead to serious injury or death.

Is there a safe way to 3D print a hub/wheel? Particular printer or material? Heat curing after?

Molds are not cheap and being able to make a wheel without one would be nice in so many ways. Could a chunk of the right plastic be machined to make a hub/wheel?
