That's pretty cool Nik, what material does it print with? ABS or something?

this is done in PLA.
For its purpose - its plenty strong.
Bare in mind if you do get things printed, ABS is more heat resistant, however for their application this was more than fine. Plus you cant print ABS on the new makerbot 2.0 unless you get the "X" version with a heated platform
Just so you gentleman know, you can get metal 3D printed too. All you have to do is log into 'Shapeways" and upload your part, then you can get a quote on any material they have available. Sterling Silver if that is your thing
