Next level has begun.   :o

So anyone stepped up to try parts making with metal 3D printers yet? 

I wonder how well these new metal 3D printers going to do for guys making NLA parts or custom parts, etc.

Folks been using 3D printers to make chainsaw parts for awhile now.

Some from 2014 - 15

Plus the fast tach 3D holders.
