> [@dmoffitt](#): > > Probably going to want to slit some large radiator hose and wrap 2 pieces of that stainless hose - the first, where the two of them (almost) cross, and the second, probably more important, is where it comes up vertically near the fuel rail (bottom-middle-left-third of the photo). They have a nasty habit of abrading through things. IDK if it’s just my pic angles but none of the hoses (with the exception of turbo coolant feed and oil drain) touch anything except at the hose ends or their respective clamps. The two aforementioned exceptions have rubber sleeving over them. ---

We have a Rapid Prototyper at school for the use of Tech/Engineering students, it’s amazing how detailed and precise the model comes out. Did you print using dual ABS compounds with the dissolving support structure? I used to have so much fun making models on CAD to just to print them. Unfortunately the downside to the “Rapid” prototyper is that it isn’t “rapid” lol, a 1"x1"x1" model takes on average 45 minutes to print in entirety. ---
