Looking for an expensive pod

QuoteHis are okay, but not perfect, wrong material.

Maybe, but they're not meant to match the originals identically unless, like you say you mould them.  The benefit of a 3D printer is you can create entirely new designs and modify existing component designs easily, something that I'd like to see someone do with a mould.

Some items I wouldn't try to recreate, like wing mirrors, are far too complex, but theres plenty of potential for 3d printing and the C5. When the designs are done, you just hit the print button, leave it for a bit and out they pop and if its wrong or you want to change something you edit it on screen and print again, rather than spend another day having to create another mould with expensive mould making material ;)

Next up I think will be my own take on a hi viz mast, maybe one that slides up and down ;D

PS Welcome to the new owners, I hope you implement many new and exciting features on the website. Single sign-on for FB and twitter users would be useful ;)
