Someone with a 3D printer should try printing that model, looks like it could work.

Likewise someone with a CNC machine, or woodworking tools, or stone chisels...
You mean you can create random stuff without 3D printers?!
I found OpenSCAD and STL model in Thingiverse http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:126794
Printing in progress, stay tuned for results ;) Proof: http://www.pasteall.org/pic/show.php?id=63268

I've cut each stator into two parts vertically so it can actually be assembled by gluing them around the rotor, and I've also cut the rotor so it can be printer without support.

Finished, see my top level comment.
