Solid union problem with Breps - Creating a wheel

Hi all,

Trying to create a wheels with spokes. Having mixed results creating a proper boolean join between the spokes and the outer ring. I need clean solids with fillets to be able to laser-cut.

In this example two wheels merge correctly the third one doesn't. The results are not consistent. I have to do this with many more different wheels, so the definition should solid. 

Would be great if anybody had suggestions for a better way of doing this.

Thanks! Frank T

This should help you: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:581631

To get overlapping spokes you'll have to change the way the spokes are made.  And of course remove all the parts dealing with gear teeth.
