is there cheap affordable 3d printing available in india? because we can cut down our costs a lot with such a device, by easily printing out things like horns, clevices, motor housings, clamps, screws, transmitter sticks, undercarriage, complex servo related mechanisms like tailwheels and nosewheels, tricopter servo motor hinge, trap doors, canopy locks, pilots, struts, formers, helicopter frames, heli skids, servo replacement gears, Props(?), connector plastic housing, lipo cases, control surfaces, ferrari's, temporary motor shafts, prop savers, waterproof housings for boat parts, etc....

Was thinking about my 1955 Fiat Millecento (suicide doors!) for which I had to mold the front side fish style indicator covers in fibreglass in 1986. Too bad they were not transparent enough after painting them orange on the inside. And tail light covers. Wish i could vacuform. Still haven't vacuformed a single canopy.
Wonder if i jabber about my own fantasies, or anyone out there has similar interests.

Haha! But I wish someone would invest in a 3d printer.... He could take orders and print and ship to us!

That's a classic observation Sir! However, I can't add to your rep by giving you a + 1. It says something inane like ....."Please spread the love before giving it to this user again."
