well, there are supposed to be some plastic materials that can withstand ambient temps of 150 degrees celsius and made by an american company. But then again, withstanding that doesnt mean it can withstand whatever forces this material also went through.
Basically just buy the fucking original part, especially if you're flying the airplane
A lot of in-house prototyping of things, as well as making certain shapes that conventional molds can’t or have a very hard time doing. It’s a fantastic technology who’s uses are quite limited for most people who aren’t big-time hobbyists or working in manufacturing. I’ve done prototyping projects in the past, being able to create a close approximation of a part/product (especially housings) that allowed me to test certain facets of a design without getting the part made in a more expensive way, especially if a part goes through a lot of iterations.
I've printed replacement knobs for my oven when they broke. That was pretty handy when all it cost me was a couple cents of filament and some print time.
There's a Chinese company that has a website that lets you generate a 3D model from a single image and it does a pretty good job of filling in details it can't see.
Before AI, it was 3D printing that was supposed to revolutionize the planet and make manufacturing jobs obsolete.
There are certain things you shouldnt print. Heavy load bearing objects or high heat environment objects
Amazing that this retard 3d printed plastic and put it into a hot engine bay.

Materials Engineering 101.
He bought the part, he didn't 3D print it himself.
The semantics are irrelevant. The item was 3D printed. It failed. Shocked Pikachu face. Literally all that matters.
Arguably even more retarded
3D printing is amazing, this guy’s just an idiot without even an entry level understanding of material science.
Has it been used for anything other than overpriced plastic objects that are suppose to be impressive because they came out of a 3D printer?

Its also useful when you need to have something that only you would want

The next new thing will be 3d printing Ai slops

And it turns out, just like 3D printing, AI does nothing except make everything a bit (or maybe a great deal) worse.
