My printed parts were printed on my Printrbot Play with PLA plastic at .2mm layer height. The walls are set at 1.2mm thick. The infill is set at 30%. Cura is the software that I used to convert my stl's. I scaled my parts to .504 of the original file for the micro motor. I used a 1/8" drill bit to clean the holes out for all of the parts. The bolts fit good in the holes without nuts. I only used the nuts on top of the motor for mounting the circuit. You may want to lightly sand the edges that the wire will be touching to smooth them over. They are fairly sharp. Note: The bearings are a tight fit so be careful inserting them.
I realize not everyone has a 3D printer. I would be fine with TeslagenX printing these and making them available if you or anyone is interested.
