I've seen one working two weeks ago. The process was a bit different, but they could print all those moving parts. There was liquid pvc coming out of the printer head in different colors. It took a whole day to print something like the wrench.
I don’t think this wrench will loosen a bolt on one of our Fordsons.

That's pretty impressive. I wonder if I can get them to print a copy of me? Then I could work on my tractors, while the copy works on my honey-do list :lol:

A few guys have been playing with stuff like this on a well known toy forum , They have been making scale buck rakes and things :) . I don't think it is that cheap to do :wink: .
I kinda like what Dave said about good quality repro parts .
Maybe some companys we wont name for legal reasons could scan my original super major pump drive tacho cable and get the lenght right so they fit . :lol: I guess we dont want to razz our moderators , or parts suppliers that snoop on us :wink: . Im just gonna say no more and not reply to comments and hope someone takes the hint while snooping if they do i could use 4 cables right now :wink: .
