What material are you printing with? The parts look great.

Carbon fibre nylon , way stiffer than stock and you can virtually bend them double before they snap , the ball joint fittings are particularly suited to FDM 3d printing , I did beef them up very slightly and printed with 9 walls so solid plastic . I'm now looking at starting a Shapeways store as I have a fair few bits and now have my Fusion 360 account set as a start up so I can sell stuff legitimately :D

There's loads more but I need to tweak the designs , a lot were slightly modified for FDM home printing so need to be returned to a more original shape that's possible on their printers at shapeways .

Just recently I got a roll of Polymaker Polymax PC polycarbonate ... Man is it strong ! I've been working on some suspension arms for a project I'm working on and I cocked up leaving a feature out so I made another one to replace it , this evening I replaced it and was just about to throw it away when I decided to see how strong it was ? If I made this in ABS I'd easily break it by hand , if it were carbon fibre nylon I could bend it double , I could do neither :shock: I could flex it a bit but not much and I couldn't snap it by hand :D

1300GT has very kindly sent me some Tag Pro10 suspension components to copy and add to my Shapeways Shop (Dadio Designs), this is the first tester lower arm off the printer , very happy with the geometry :D I just need to give a little more clearance for the pivot balls as they are just a touch too tight .
The first shots are with an original arm to compare in front and behind , printed one in white .

The eagle eyed might spot the bottom of the arm is flat , I just did it to do a nice easy home print , the version on Shapeways will be contoured symmetrically on top and bottom .
