I'm thinking the pricing on that would be astronomically high. sounds good. but probably not a lot members could afford such an endeavor....

Yea, I didn't think about that. You're probably right.
If you had a computer model of the parts, it would probably be a few hundred dollars cheaper. Then the design department wouldn't have to reverse engineer anything.

Sounds great In theory. but that would take control and the OPs files out of his possession and whatever Income from the run. You would have to discus that with him.
I'll keep it in mind, but I'm not sure it would affect the cost all that much. It's roughly the same amount of metal and would require 2 additional 3D prints and molds.
I appreciate the offer, but I'll be continuing down the path of casting them myself.
I've had them quoted for CNC, and you're right, it's expensive. I used to have a CNC that could have done it, but I sold it. It still would have been rather expensive. It would probably be cheaper to CNC just one, but if you want multiples vacuum investment casting is the way to go.

I wasn't suggesting CNC. This a full service facility. They can make molds for any material. But you're right, it's not cheap.
sean - Machine shops don't retain rights to what they produce. Once you've paid and the product is delivered, it's all yours. Them using your files to open a shop to produce your product would be illegal.

Would these parts work to mate to a real Taurus revolver to make a live-fire?
I don't really have a list at the moment, but I'll get one together when the time comes.
As far as fitting on a Taurus 85, I don't see why not. I'm building mine on a model 94 which as far as I can tell is the same frame, just in 22lr.

I will be watching this with much interest. Thank you for all the hard work.
Still working on it. To make these affordable I have to do the casting myself. I'm working on a plan to get a system set up to make this happen.

I realize you've probably not had the time, but have you been able to figure anything out for international shipping? This looks like a fantastic kit!
