Hey guys,
I have been playing with different materials for wheel hub pulleys for the ABEC Flywheels and I have finally found the perfect place to get them made. Shapeways is an online 3D printing service and for about $20-$30 a pulley, you can have them SLS 3D printed out of their "Strong and Flexible" plastic, aka nylon. I ordered a few and have been testing them. They have been holding up great with no signs of wearing or degradation of any kind after about 20 hard miles. If you are looking to make some custom pulleys, I couldn't recommend Shapeways enough. Oh and I'm not endorsed or paid by Shapeways in any way.
Here is a picture:
Cheers!
