<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Rayo56, post: 138600, member: 2022&quot;]Ouch - a thousand dollar+ part? 3D printing isn&#039;t cheap. I&#039;m a pattern maker and everybody thinks getting a casting is a few dollars - maybe the casting will be 7$ BUT for the pattern to be made will be hundreds of dollars, PLUS mounting and gating for the foundry to actually yo be able to mold it! I&#039;ve made small patterns with core boxes that went south of 2500$</p><p><br /></p><p>This simple volute pattern is around 4500$, split pattern with a core box. Mounted and gated!</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/8d/a6/3b/8da63b7cb6fa8f53b0acc3a81b322c9c.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
