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

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

I could flex it a bit but not much and I couldn't snap it by hand

When you live with three dogs it's hard to keep them out of photos ,that's our eldest Frais or full name Fomage Frais , her mum was Bell so she's a baby bell ... Hence the cheese name , master food thief , kitchen raider and comfort seeker .
