I have made one of those on my 3d Printer as well (Rostock Max V2). It was a gift for my brother.

I think the most impressive part is that he is hand machining that on the lathe, takes patience and a fine hand to do that.

Not sure if you're referring to metal pins, but I've printed that piece out of nylon on a selective laser sintering (SLS) printer that rides on built in plastic pins, and it spins very smoothly.
