Fantastic idea about the scuttle and other panels Dave! I'd be very interested in a plastic scuttle.dollysprint wrote: ↑Thu Oct 18, 2018 10:17 pmFantastic idea Mark and well done for doing it. I know nothing of 3d printing, whats the costing factor, is it size, material, strength or a combination? I'm thinking metal panel under the scuttle, above the brake servo, 3D printed in some kind of flexi plastic. Is this as smple as scan the object, choose the material, send to the printer?

The way i understand it (and i could be wrong) it needs a "master" to scan using either lasers or some kind of reverse-CNC machine so if the master isn't perfect then those imprefections will show in the printed items.
However i think dimensions can also be entered or the object drawn on some sort of CAD program.
The scuttle might be tricky though, it's a compound curve!
