Thanks... That is very helpful. I will make the gear out of Delrin or black POM. It appears to comes in sheets a bit thicker than 1/4" so I will make it thicker as well.

The plans call for the forks to be made of both aluminum and plastic. See image below. The guy in the video made them as one piece and from plastic.
Do you suggest making them from Delrin / Black POM?

I would use Delrin for the forks also.
It is super easy to machine with end mills for alu and ok mechanical property.

Re: Umbrella ATC - Acorn Compatible
Delrin it is. I guess you probably would not recommend three d printing the forks?

Re: Umbrella ATC - Acorn Compatible
Even though I have a printer that could use PA CF, I would mill from Delrin...
