Is there anything that stops the resistance mech from sliding off the flats towards the driver? Or are the flats long enough to prevent that?

The clutch. The resistance mech sits inside it so it isn't going anywhere.

As far as I know, Light Bike Co already has a Ti bolt kit out already for these hubs
The only contact i could find for them is their instagram

well i imagine the bolts are the same thread pitch as the existing 10mm and 14mm bolts used in other odyssey/gsport hubs so all they had to do was mix a few sets of those up
this year i am going to have sex and it will be awesome

is the driver just running on the needle bearing? How is the load of the drive side bearing transfered to the axle? Can't really tell from the pictures

No.
Most 3D printers will only print PLA or ABS which just aren't suitable, most home machines also wont achieve a good enough tolerance or surface finish.

Not sure on Canada, probably about the same time as the USA.

It annoys me when people refer to any axial design as a KHE clone. The axial clutch design goes back nearly a hundred years in coaster brake hubs. We (BMXers) were taking the brake shoes out of coaster hubs over 30 years ago. ACS were making the RL hub about 30 years ago too. Even the Odyssey Reloader pre-dates the KHE by a significant margin. The Poverty hub had the ball springs long before the KHE hub came out (though they were welded instead of screwed), and I think that that was just an off the shelf hub so I have no idea who came out with those. 
What did KHE bring to the party? They have a patent on their through axle gap adjustment (though Yu Hub claim this was their idea) and that is about it?

Yes. The driver only runs on a needle bearing inside and the usual angular contact bearing around the outside to the shell. The axial loads on the wheel are NOT transferred to the axle through the driver at all, this is how we can eliminate the 6802's and be certain that the driver bearings wont explode. There will be a separate video to explain the bearings...

So, on a scale of 1 to 10, for a first time freecoaster user; would you rate this hub as easy or hard to maintain?

I think eliminating any back pedaling would be great since i'm in my 30's.
