But doesn’t that create an offset weight? My part will probably spin at several thousand RPM.
What is the plastic of your choice?
PLA, PETG, ... behave like a very slowly flowing liquid as such the print will deform/expand (creep).
I will be using PLA
For production parts look at other materials. Nylon might still be within the range of your 3D-printer.
For attaching: If you can't clamp then look at gluing it in place. If you need it detachable maybe drill a hole in the shaft and use a R-clip.
You can also tap and die the shaft on top. Make sure to use a left or right-handed thread depending on the rotation/load (thread is so that the rotation/force isn't unscrewing it).
