Do you have a filament printer? The only issue I see is it will have poor torque strength. I tried a test piece earlier and even using higher temp and very fine layers I had a hard time getting it to stand up to the twist. Although I must say the handles on mine do take a fair amount to close...

I currently use free a modeling and programming software but still learning the basics atm.

I have 30years of machining an programming experience. From Swiss (sliding headstock) lathes to full 5 axis machining so I would be happy to assist anyone with machining or programming questions. Sadly working for large companies I no longer have cam software.

The 1st plan should have been "pla's".

There are some fairly strong plans out but I plan on machining most mechanical parts from aluminum. Not high temp printers can print very strong thermoplastics like PEEK (poly_ether_ether_ketone.)

all, name is Joe and im from Texas. I finally bought my 1st Humvee. I will be sure to add more pics later.
