Best quote is that it is too easy Thomas :lol:
Allways impressed by how fast you create such files, needs a lot of experience and you have a lot of it! :D
Lovely work and as Jaykay said, allmost impossible to do such part in a simple casting with a 2 parted mold, this ammount of details would only be possible with 2 parts put together, but not in a single piece, 3D printing offers so much oppertunities! :)
Take a stand!

I don't find such small parts with standard geometries very complicated. They are quite easy to create.
If you then use the help of existing components from the kits.
For someone who can design 3D it's not rocket science.

I also like to help others with little things like this and would be happy if it helps you.
Greetings Thomas

I know that this is not a very complex part to do, but your doing such things in a speed i can not imagine sometimes, remember the uprights we`re in, that`s too much with my littly experience, if i`m allowed to call it so! :lol:
Don`t play your skills down, some guys like myself would need hours or days to replicate such part in 3D, even with a partly simply geometric design. ;)

Anyone that orders anything from Thomas will be pleased.Great Stuff!! Anyone building 20th scale Mclaren MP4s or Lotus 99-T should see his brake sets.
