We aren’t there yet; if the bracket was metal it can be done but with another step. Nearly all “desktop” 3d printers use thermoplastics, so the part can first be printed in that medium and then be used to form a mold and metal cast from that. Metal 3d printing can be done, but by machines easily into the six figures. My lowly 4 figure machine gets the job done in PLA and ABS, however, and we are going to be where you want us to be in a few years.
It’s an enjoyable and frustrating hobby/avocation.
Power to the printer!
Ahhh....I knew metal printing was possible - did not know how expensive it was.
I also considered the possibility of printing a mold...but most people don’t have the means to melt and cast metal either.
But also there are countless ‘do-dads’ and ‘widgets’ on a car that could be printed in plastic., so I see great potential there. And for antique cars, where parts are almost non-existent, I see potential.
