Hello Lads,
we're building a kitcar and we need the headlights and taillights 3d printed. There is already a 3d model. It has to be PC or PEI for legal reasons

...And?

If this is a post that should have gone in the, "I need something 3D printed," section, you're probably going to have to pay the big bucks to a real rapid-prototyping shop. PC and PEI are both extremely challenging materials for hobbyist-grade 3D printers and the dimensions of typical headlights and taillights are also beyond the typical build volumes of hobbyist-grade printers.

Hmm, I'd love to have a couple of rolls of PEI filament to experiment with smiling smiley
