3D Printed Z07 Wing Risers?
I love the look of the aftermarket wing risers that are 2” longer than stock for the Z07 wing. Would like to get them for mine but am not a fan of the $1k price tag, lol.
I’m surprised no one has tried making their own yet, I’m always down for some R+D but there is no one local to me who can scan the stock ones then modify the file. Has anyone tried this out yet and have a file? Wouldn’t mind printing some for fitment first, then work on getting them made to be strong enough. Thoughts?

It seems like the perfect application for 3d printing. The new materials should be capable of making a piece plenty strong.
the big expense for carbon pieces is the mold which would be avoided in printing.
good idea!

CF ASA would likely work well for that. You could probably get a mediocre scan using a phone of the stock one and modify it from there. Do a few test prints in PLA to get the fitment right and then the final print in a stronger material.
I don't have a Z07 so I'm not any help other than saying it would work.
