Thanks Bojan. Whether the whole rig works or not is another thing. Point is, like you say,a 3D print can often be just like a metal one. This application would be a fair test of the limits strength wise. I frigged around for ages trying to find adaptors. Designing this took about 15min, was trivial, the print took about 2hrs. I recently tried a new ABS filament (from 3d systems) that is so stable and strong, no warp, that it replaced an extruded aluminium equipment box (100mm*100mm*40mm) in an application I have for 5 times less cost. It was smooth and slightly glossy, filaments are getting very sophisticated.
