That is the stubbiest stubby pump cone I've ever seen. Have you tried it yourself?

I have been using it for the last couple years.
Dont ask me to compare it to anything, I put it on before ever riding my superjet.
I did print an mail a sample to someone, and asked they provide feedback. Never heard back though.
Seems to work well though. Havnt had any leaks, But i used the original o-ring, RTV and tons of grease.
sweet, let me know how it goes.

I literally bought a printer to build jetski parts for personal use.... never even thought to look on the X. Is there any way to make a file repository for all the stuff people come up with? Could be really helpful

I 3d print all my products before i get them made in alloy. I just dont think I would trust printed plastic for the long term. They tend to de-laminate between the layers in the long term

Quit being so cheap and get a metal printer.

iv used my 3d printed pump cone for 3-4 seasons now. haven't noticed any issues. i think pla will swell 2-3% in extended use with water, but i accounted for that.

I'm not sure about PLA longevity, but most home printers can do ABS. I 3D print ABS tags for 3+ years now and no issues with salt water use. Also I sold motorcycle turn signals and license plate brackets 4 years ago without complaints.
My brother took over my 3D printing because he has more patience+time then me. He has upgraded the printer to perfection and only will improve longevity of the parts. The past 6 months he's creating aquarium parts for a custom aquarium builder. I'm confident that they will last.

My company bought an aluminum and titanium printer (I work in aerospace). I have been trying to convince my additive director to let me print a 7 port big bore topend. So much $$$$$ tho.Quit being so cheap and get a metal printer.

How much would it cost to build some bpipe manifolds?

I've printed in PLA, ABS, PETG, CF PETG, CF PLA, Nylon, and NylonX. 95% of everything I do is in PLA. I mostly make plugs for composite parts. PLA is surprisingly strong and has much better layer adhesion than ABS. Also it is not effected by strong solvents like acetone and MEKP. I also use PLA for functional parts like steering stops and cable holders on my poles, hull inserts, carb block off plates, resin infusion inlets, jigs and consumable b side mold inserts. I'm currently testing out a water manifold with self cleaning sand filtering. NylonX is even better, but is a little more difficult to print and like 3x the price.

I usually print in pla as well, its cheap and reliable.
