When are you going to start repoping pot metal parts?

My cousin just saw a 3D printer at OSU at the cost of 1.5 million dollars, it does titanium. The frightening part is the expense is in the titanium dust

Might be out of my budget.

Molds like this could be made to cast wax for use in "lost wax" casting and cast the new part in pewter.

Or... use the mold to make a plastic part instead of metal.

YES! YES! YES!

A slight under pour of product but not a single bubble and the color is absolutely beautiful!

Many 66 300 owners just melted into a puddle of goo on the floor in front of their computers.

I don't even own one, yet here I am.

Bang up job, man!

YES! YES! YES!

A slight under pour of product but I did, and not a single bubble and the color is absolutely beautiful!

Do it like weed sales in Washington D.C., give Mike a "donation" and he gives you a set of lenses as an appreciative gesture. No sale, no © infringement!
