Re: Do you use 3d printed mounts?

We utilized 3D printing this season for our shooting mechanism. As the rotating part of our shooter was a pool noodle epoxied to a PVC pipe, we designed end caps to go in the pipe so it could be mounted on a 1/2" hex shaft. One of our mentors then printed them in fiberglass-reinforced plastic at his work. Attached is a render of it.
