3D printing


Hi folks,
I figured I hit up the masses and DIY'ers out there for some advice/guidance about 3D printing A/C plug housings.The INNER diameter of the housing/chassis needs to be larger than the 1" diameter of "typical" aftermarket housings, hence the 3D printing inquiry.Has anyone tried this or something similar, and if so, what material and printer did you use and what were the results?Any thoughts about the application or the 3D printing process itself are welcomed.Cheers!

My understanding is that the bulk of housings, plugs, and the like are injection molded; this triggers the supply/demand cycle, costs for set-up, certification, etc., ad infinitum....

I was looking into 3D for metals; thin gauge, a simple structure.
At the present 'state of the art', I'd best be wanting something for SpaceX and damn the cost....

"Audiophilia", at it's extreme applications, will have to remain 'unobtainium' for awhile yet.

Aerogels in larger structures also fall into this category; very tempting, very pricey.
