You will need to make a “buy vs outsource” decision. Some builders are lucky and have access to printing services cheap (friends) through to commercial quotes upto $900EUR to $1600AUD. Please note there is a dedicated thread on the German forum for 3D Printing parts, and a lot of help in the RaceDepartment threadĬloseup showing the extruded lines generated by Slicing software

gcode files on an SD card, and into your printer

Run them through a “Slicing” program, this (a) turns the solid 3D model into a structure of layers and ‘infill’, then (b) outputs the “GCode” this is commands that tell the printer what to do, layer by layer,.

Once you get past the initial setup it’s usually only a couple of minutes setup work and your print is underway. It isn’t as daunting as you think, and isn’t as expensive as you’d think. Without 3D printing this would likely mean CNC machined aluminium blocks. 3D printing makes the actuators possible – the bearings, and motor all need to be at certain positions and held solidly in alignment.
