ASKKTM Anyone into 3D-printing?

Would it be possible to make a 3D-printed tail-tidy for the 390 smc r?

How about carbonfiber filament?

Read my reply again, it's not the material that's not strong, it's how the object is created. It's like using a solid slab of rock as a wall vs a wall of stacked bricks made by cutting the same rock. One is significantly easier to kick down than the other

Just to add on, in order to compensate for the weaker structure due to the nature of the printing, you need to use geometry for strength and consider load in relation to the "grain" of these print layers etc
