Durability of NIX91 parts?

Post by tiger1 »

Hi:

How time flies, NIX91 Masami replica has been around for a few years now.

As far as I remember, NIX91 is the first semi-mass production car with 3D printed parts.

I bet many has been driven around.

Can some of us here share their experience regarding the durability of the printed parts? Especially with respect to how it fairs in operation and when compare with the 'regular' AE parts?

Thanks in advance.

They are weaker than the molded parts that come in mass produced kits. Very brittle when cold. They flex some and don't keep their geometry under load very well.
