Excellent job Carlitos. Keep being curious and never be afraid to fail. I think you are in the right direction with this project.

Looks pretty good. I built one exactly like this few months ago. 3d printed coupler will fail because of it is not aligned perfectly the harmonics will creat stress cracks.
Some tips:
One way to minimize is to mount motor with large rubber bushings or isolated pad.
You can also have that plastic coupler 3d orinted into metal for about 150$ online.
Also need to look at cooling that motor as heat builds up, efficiency will drop. I added a 48v fan on thermal switch. Comes on only when needed.
Install an inline amp meter about 10$ on jungle site to montior amp usage.
Looks good, the torque multiplication with gearbox should help. Remove the pump impellor it creates resistance
