    We have a place nearby called ThePrintMachine that has a 3D printer...If it is to exact specs, do you have a lawyer???

    Is the Grit Guard patented? I have a package from about 10 years ago that says "patent pending". Besides, if he's not selling them he's not violating anything. If he whittled one out of wood, would he need a lawyer (if he wasn't selling them)?

    You can make patented stuff all day long as long as you don't try to sell it.

    Cool project but not practical. I'd bet it cost more in plastic wire than a real grit guard. And then printed stuff is about 30% as strong as cast or injected.

    Re: 3d Printing

    what kind of machine do you have access to? fdm or sla? if it is just an fdm then i would make the flat cross pieces that support the grid a bit thicker so they dont break easily (fdm is for the most part fragile in comparison to injection moulding or sla)

    Yeah, that's what I was thinking, but I'm sure part of this was the challenge of modeling it.
