Power Wheels Hub Connector

thingiverse

A recent class project kicked off with a toy donation and some cash to purchase parts. Though a remarkably kind and generous offer - the project transformed into many more hours and lessons of patience, grit, and determination than anticipated. In the end, we sourced a second Power Wheels with wheels and/or drive motors that wouldn't match. The solution? We replaced the red hub insert in the wheels and designed a hub that would mesh with the motor gear (a small white cylinder with slots to fit into the recess of the new wheels). After at least 15 different versions, we have two functioning hubs and soon-to-be-satisfied children. Feel free to add comments, thoughts, etc.
