Any of those you pictured is good. The pla is the weakest but still
probably OK depending on the exact design of the part. abs, asa, petg
all definitely good.
I haven't looked at the model in question, but, to make a working
battery cover in general, you don't always have to *exactly* copy the
Different printing methods cost different amounts. The basic service at
shapeways is something called SLS , which is laser-sintered nylon powder.
It produces very good results in terms of both dimensional & shape accuracy
and the toughness of the part, but it's expensive.

in my experience 3d printing is not cheap, you have to want the thing
kind of a lot

I don't know how common it is but our public library has a 3d printer and
even though they won't print anything remotely gun related the will print
most anything else for 5 cents an oz.

Thanks, Lee! I appreciate the expert insight. I hope Steve is able to rejigger
the hook tabs with slightly less overhang.
$15 for 50¢ of material sounds crazy, but I don't have a 3-D printer. Are there
any 3-D print services that aren't so expensive? My local makerspaces have
closed their door
Resident 3D Printer repair guy here: that’s expensive, you’re looking at .50c
in material for an FDM PET print.
It’s about an hour on a Prusa MK3S @ .2mm, I’m fairly certain my buddy gifted
me an M200 so maybe I can do some comparison shots.
Printer is hot and ready so I’ll just crank out a s
Very awesome! One of my M200s is missing the battery cover and looks a bit
janky with the flexible plastic I cut to fit in its place. I got cost
estimates from xometry and shapeways to see how much it'd be and it seemed
the cheapest options were $15 to $20 bucks. For example, here's Shapeways'

Steve,
If possible, please try to take and upload a picture or two of the actual copy
part you did in black ABS. Prefer at least one pic to be NOT installed in its
place on the M200. Looking for a good shot of the inside where all the tabs
are and all the performance of your printer will be r
The M200 I just got was missing the battery cover, so I designed up a
replacement and 3D printed it. I donate the model to the community in case
