Just PLA, 100% infill

Just to bring this thread to a conclusion. Thanks for the offer to 3d print my part Old Salt, I had already ordered a few from 3gd3d.co.uk, they arrived today. Some fettling with a 3.5mm drill bit and files to enlarge the holes and remove some material where the motor hub protrudes and they...

Yes that's right, if you place the two halves back together and turn it by hand you can hear them click together before the resistance of the motor is felt, can actually see them through the vent and they look to be parallel with little to no gap between the end of the pin and the disc it mates...

I am hoping someone can help me with this, would be a real shame to throw this out. I have a parkside performance PWSAP 20-li A1 cordless grinder that I bought for occasional DIY, used it maybe 4 times and used less than 2mm of a cutting disc so barely used, last time I ran it there were some...
