This kind of work inspires me to up my game. The 3D printer has its place in modelling but it sure does make me lazy.
I heard somewhere that the 3-D print process is going to have more types of material available.... I have not checked Shapeways yet but at least one source is stating that actual resin parts are now being printed vs the more brittle plastic stuff they are using. I still have not had an issue with the brake detail from Shapeways. One BIG plus is the fact that the air line holes are all part of the printing process. So, all you need to do is clean out the holes with the proper drill bit........ works like a charm......The triple valve has 5 holes, the air tank has two and one for the actuator....... saves a lot of time and most importantly a lot of broken drill bits!!!!!
