well it can cost 500 bucks to get a certain 3D printer
I believe it's called the Desktop Factory
get a free CAD design and make a 3d model in CAD, then print it out using the 3d printer
each layer is .1 inch thick and will fuse with the layers under it, and i think if you just make the hub thingy, it shouldn't be too hard to design on CAD
then you can print other things like a whole new Xmod body (that'd be sweet to have a custom body make of one peice plastic that was actually meant for the xmod...)

supposedly the cheapest one out there
