Referring to resin printed, as opposed to cast in either resin or rubber.
As for update, steady production of the larger items (grip, barrel etc.) which are the most time consuming to produce due to the cooldown and demold time.
Still waiting on the fix for the leaking hot end on the FDM printer.
Currently running my test batch of 6 grilles on the Photon. Print time is another 21 hours. I am running it the slowest for the most detail, then increase speed as i go to get the most out of the printer in the least amount of time.
I’m going to make a second grip mold to increase my production numbers as well.

It was originally specified that these basters would be cast pewter with some plastic/rubber components. The grilles are one of the components but will not effect the overall feel or weight.

Post 39 shows the original post stating some minor plastic components.
The choice is black resin printed on my Anycubic photon or pressure cast Rubber, likely high shore urethane runner in the Smooth On Vytaflex line.

There would presumably be a higher possibility of delamination. If you look closely at Adam’s vid with Doug Harlocker, you can tell the rubber is beginning to release.

Let me know if you need any help 3d printing, sent you an email with some info.

Closer to final assembly, no rush.
OK, things are a bit more clear now. So options for the grills will be:
1. 3D Printed
2. Cast in resin
3. Cast in rubber
Right? I'm not a fan of rubber, since, like mentioned, it might deteriorate in time. Would like to see a comparison pic between the 3D-printed and resin cast. Whatever has the highest detail (without having printing lines) would be my choice...

Definitely not rubber for me that’s for sure

If you're worried about strength and detail, maybe you could outsource the prints.
Dan Haga Designs uses a Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) printer. They don't do their own printing in-house. I don't know how open they are to making prop stuff.

Custom Smith MFG now uses MJF printing too. They also have a MarkForged printer that can use carbon fiber; I don't know what kind of printer that is, or how the carbon fiber is utilized. They have made a prop for fun. But I don't think anyone has ever asked them to make prop stuff.

I think i’ll be ok.

Brandomack, If it’s not too late I’d appreciate resin grill pieces on mine as well please.
Thanks for all the updates and videos, it’s really cool to have an insight into your process.
