Great idea, how are you going to finish it out?

This is going to be the only choice on some of these older rare parts.

This was just a test print since the first one had line distortion. The high quality print is going now, takes several hours to print. I have 3 NOS sets that I'm hoarding but I really like the way they designed these ones so now I have a few extra sets to play around with.

Stewart, they are plastic. I'll see if I can take a video.

Here's another set with a channel in the back so you could lay a bead of glue or double sided tape. I'll post some pics after I finalize a set.

Don't buy a junk 3D printer. Even the reputable ones have a plethora of issues and parts, maintenance, firmware etc. You will get no support from China. the one in the video is a makerbot replicator https://www.makerbot.com/replicator/
