Print your own parts. Shapeways -3D Printing.
We will be using this for parts at work. Mostly for R&D, but with the new advancements in material they could be real parts. Cost can be cheap or expensive depending on the size and material. I created a simple exhaust tip for my dirt bike and to have it printed in Steel is going to be too expensive. It is $217 in steel, but only $35 in flexible plastic, obviously that won’t work. But it can be done is my point
All you have to do is create a model in a CAD Program of what you want then upload it and then have it printed. If you have a great idea you can also have the website sell it for you and you get a profit.
