3D Printing tooling for M151 parts

[lpcoating]

About a month ago we purchased our first 3D printer. When I left the shop tonight I hit the "Go" button on this program. This is tooling for the tail light bucket depression that allows clearance for the wire harnesses coming out of the tail light. 9 hours and 33 min run time. It's my weekend at the shop so I'll see the results in the morning.

How many hits do you think you can get out of plastic tooling? I’m a bit pessimistic.

We made other tooling and it holds up pretty good. Check out this video. Note: This is not our shop. We did some research before buying the unit.
