Filter Wheel DIY

When having a 3D-printer it's a lot of thoughts about everything that can be 3D-printed. If I buy a monochrome camera in the future there is a need of filters and a filter wheel. It's not very dificult to design it in 3D CAD, the problem is more, will the plastic material be good enough ? At least I get it exactly as I want it.

Most people who do this buy a manual filter wheel and set a motor on it. Here I give it a try to do it all in the 3D-printer.

My filter wheel project:

As a driver for the filter wheel I will use the open source project myFilterWheel.
