Reproducing the Hermes intake manifold

<< < (2/2)

Grumblebuns:
Sometime in the future, I'll take a stab at casting the manifold in a home casting process. My fabricator has experience doing this and said he will help me when I start.

Kendo:
There are places that 3D print aluminum. When my car is painted, I'm thinking of making one of those European high bypass Stromberg manifolds that way. You need a 3D model to get a quote, which has me currently stumped. But if you already have a model, you could at least find out how much they'd charge.

Richard48Y:
3D printing is still not a fully mature technology.
It's a an Oohh and Aaahh tech but the affordable units that show up in most "Maker-space" outfits still often have issues with layer adhesion and porosity.
Wax has a low melting point so even the cheap printers can do well with it.
