This is insulting... Just order custom pipes in gold or platinum or at least titanium and it won't be cheap.Quote

I’ve come across the piper infinity [www.thingiverse.com] which looks interesting but a bit cheap…

There is nothing wrong with using printed parts in a 3D printer if they are used appropriately. The genuine Prusa i3 Mk3 uses lots of them.

"powder coated frame" is fixing structure in X direction. What about Y direction?Quote

I completely agree with you, but in the case of the piper3d, there is no bracing of the printer (unlike the prusa which rely on a waterjet powder coated frame...) So the printed part are having a much more important structural role... I don't say it cannot work, I just say it's less sturdy.
