gmorat - do you know how strong printed pieces are compared to solid ABS? Would be a shame if the reinforcements cracked apart due to their layered construction. Sorry, I don't know very much about the material properties of 3D printed stuff.

When I removed my drivers side pocket for measurements the plastic disintegrated so these can't come soon enough for me.
First prints were a bust but lessons are learned and applied to the next iteration.

gmorat - If/when you get yourself a 3D printer, you can mess around with a bunch of materials nowadays. Like you said, ABS curls, so the newer materials people are creating are awesome. I always print in PLA and the parts are strong and dont delaminate if designed properly.
What material are you using for the prints? I was thinking Nylon would be the best for this project.

I may put this one up on Shapeways depending on what their finish looks like. The heat cycling properties are good enough by a long shot. That way anybody who wants to order a set can just do it through there.
Nylon prints are prohibitively expensive. Holy cow, the cost is 3 to 5 times the cost for nylon prints!
