3d printed parts

The *budget star wars yoke* thread got me thinking about using the actual gears; off to ebay.
Found on ebay was a 3d printed 14t gear with an Allen set screw for use. I sent a message to find out if he does the other gears.
Friends, the future is here. It's made of plastic and printed on demand. Except when it requires that Metal bushing. *shrug*
I was referred to arcadefixit. That place has "NOS" Star Wars parts.

Id be interested to see how 3d printed handles would hold up.

The stuff can be pretty strong!!! I have a 3D Printer at work that I am allowed to play with and I printed a 1/4 Scale Crankcase for a rotary engine. I couldn't snap or break it!! All depends on how you build the model.
The handles would probably hold up no problem....

I expect it would be great for a handle, but can't imagine gears would hold up for long given the forces and friction involved.

I would love to see some fully 3d printed yoke plans. Perhaps a couple easy to find pieces, metal pipe, etc. But many gears in motors are plastic anyways so I see no reason why 3d printed ones wouldn't last for home use.

Depending on the precision required, I know some places print in metal (stainless, gold, platinum, etc.). But that's with a sintering process that might require some manual refinement after the fact. Again, depending on how much precision is needed.
