But will it print a useable Champion 16-D endbell?

I'm really impressed with the strength of this 3D printed item.

I would have Geary give the endbell a shot, but not for 5 pcs.

Yes down to 25 microns resolution. Not sure on the temperature requirements but their Hi-Temp resin has the following basic specification.
High Temp Resin has a heat deflection temperature (HDT) of 289 °C @ 0.45 MPa appx 552 Farenheit

Hi David, I am about to use Ultem 10 10 but what is the name of the high temp resign you are talking about. Sounds better than Ultem 10 10.

It's a liquid resin for an SLA Printer not a filament.

Look here: https://www.3d4maker...rature-filament
You need to confirm that your printer will work with these and check out the prices. LOL

There are machines that can produce a usable end bell, both in terms of heat tolerance and detail. The real issue is, at what cost? Any end bell produced would have to retail for $10 or less even. Traditional molding makes that a snap...AFTER tooling costs and then only by recouping through selling big numbers, which would make justifying production impossible (*which is why they aren't out there). Here, this machine seems like it could do this, and other machines as well, but the cost per unit because of materials and "labor" cost become the problem. Heck, you could probably produce strong end bells by machining them out of the right plastic (nylon or something else) or even some type of phenolic and have the cost per unit be the same or less. The good news is that the possibilities are changing all the time and the prices seem to keep coming down...somewhat.
