What kind of filament is that printed with and are you concerned about it failing over time? Especially if there's spinning disks in there I'd be paranoid as hell about it falling.
This scares the hell out of me. Too much risk of damage. Heat, weight, and time.
There's basically no heat involved. It sounds like you're worried about creap, which is totally fair and something to be aware of. The parts are printed out of ASA and are very overbuilt, so there shouldn't be any cause for concern.

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.
It looks beefy enough to me
I’d print it but using ABS
It's ASA, it'll be fine :)
Yeah. That’ll be good.
This man has never heard of 3d2a :P
It's printed out of ASA, which basically doesn't creap. It's also wayyyy overbuilt for the amount of weight it's supporting. I'm not at all worried about it failing over time.
As long as it's not pla. That's a ticking time bomb.
It's ASA, should be more than fine :)
I think it looks fine, the layers are aligned appropriately and it seems at least 5mm thick
I disagree. It seems that the letters are along where the stress is, which can eventually cause determination. This part scares me when you consider how important what it's holding it's.
layers
delamination?
is
He said in another spot that it's ASA.
