PS: i understand the LAA-supplied Shoot-Bolt Stop parts kit is made using Stereo
Lithography which is a UV-cured resin process.
As such (and i did see one at my most recent visit (co-incidentally on the day
the MPD was issued), the finish is quite smooth and more geometrically accurate
method compared to that typical of the traditional 3D-printed melted fishing
line.
Being UV-cured, i'm hoping it will prove to be more resistant to UV degradation
than most plastics. Not sure the white resin used will suit everyone, but it
should be OK for painting. Time and the huge pool of experience evident on this
BB, will tell.
