Anyone have experience in a suitable material and printer capable of printing an intake manifold.
I'm building an engine for my race car, and cannot find an off-the-shelf intake/throttle body setup that will clear the chassis of my race car.
Thinking of scanning the head flange on a CMM, and designing an intake manifold from scratch.
My original thought was to have it CNC'd from aluminum, but then started wondering if it could be 3D printed directly.
Looking for input on material selection, as well as printers with sufficient resolution to do it properly.
Thanks,
David
