Guys, come on, get back on track please.

That part needs casting. Something you can do out of humid sand with a frame made out of 1/4" plywood (in your backyard). Once you got that done just drop by your nearest forgery and scoop up cast aluminum from them and poor it down the feeding hole. Going to cost you $10 +a tip. As-in a fraction of what it cost to print this out.

Get all ends machined by your machine shop and off you go. Add up $50.

That's what I do with my one-off parts here and will do it again. Not sure what's the holdup with this thing. Nylon or not, with the extreme heat and vibrations this part is going to look like a marshmallow after one summer.
