Re: 3-D printed hard-to-find parts
Very good point Brent, I have a friend who works at Lockheed Martin with a high scale "3D printer" and you would be amazed at what they can produce, and you are correct, the hobby folks would not have access to this precise technology.

Re: 3-D printed hard-to-find parts
I know the hinge mounted style has been but I am unaware of the 10 3/8" pillar mounted arms being repoped.

Not sure how solidworks manages to retain their $5,000 a year fee or whatever it is they use.

Buying a $300 printer cannot hold the same tolerances in X, Y, & Z axis' as a higher quality unit. While your CAD drawing may show a round shift ball, you printed ball may be more akin to a ribbed egg when it has finished printing. Yes, I agree that as technology advances, the lower end stuff will become cheaper, ...but isn't it ironic that we always seem to hear about people here complain about poor quality repro parts how they are junk -yet here we are all excited about getting the cheapest unit made! |

Re: 3-D printed hard-to-find parts
I have a 3d printer and use it to make tools and parts all the time. I use viacad from Amazon. It's great tool for prototyping parts and even finish products.
