I didn't think there was any plastic that could stand the heat coming off a rotor when it's being used hard enough to glow red.

They can print in high grade plastics or a high temp fiberglass good for just over 300 deg F before deflecting from heat. Wouldn’t be in contact with the hot parts. Would need to be pulled back some. They can print in metal too. Maybe it’s a combination of plastic duct running to a metal section right at the rotor. I haven’t taken time to look more into it

I had heard they were printing in metal now which is kind of why I wondered why plastics would be considered for this purpose. I can see a combination plastic/metal duct working since that's essentially what we've got now. Interesting technology for sure though, I'm sure it's not far away that the ability to custom print parts like this will be mainstream and easily accessible.

Yeah. I’ve held printed metal parts. Pretty cool tech. They printed a metal pulley that had curved oil flow ports. Can’t machine curved hole paths but you can print them.

I like the color code markings.
My son and I truly admire everything you’ve accomplished with your build! We’re on a similar journey with his 2015 EcoBoost and you’ve inspired (and educated) us with all of your posts. We have a Watson cage installed in our car and like the drivers floor panel you’ve installed…did that come from Kohr or Watson or someone else? Congrats on a truly beautiful build!!
