Wondering if anyone has come up with a 3d print of the cutting disk yet. I was considering working on that but got wondering if someone already had one?

Second that, and also wondering about printing a disk that can take COTS (commercial off the shelf) lawnmower blades…

Joshua was talking about printing some protective discs in the attached link but I’m not sure if there has been any progress. Protective disc for cutting disc
There are user created 3d print files out there. I won’t post them here because it could possibly void the warranty, but they are out on the 3d print sites. There is still some work involved to get the nuts embedded into them though.
I’m not sure what the RPM is for the cutting disk but having printed things for high-speed spinning items, I wouldn’t attach razor blades to the edges of a 3d printed disk.

"wouldn’t attach razor blades to the edges of a 3d printed "
Not sure I would either…but I would def use a 3d print for the dry fit mockup for a machined part.

Or use the 3d print to make a mold for aluminum casting or injection molding

For my application (open pasture and roadsides) I think plastic is not a great material, especially given all the folks with broken hubs. My preference would be forged or machined steel, maybe even go with 316 stainless for corrosion protection in the off season.
