    So I've been working on another World's Series.
    The outs casting has crumbled which isn't uncommon. I also have a friend needing a ball lift. Both of these parts are pretty unobtanium so I decided to try casting them.
    Casting did t go well. Lol

    Next step was trying to 3d print the parts. I worked with a friend and we were able to make some prototypes and are moving on to final prints.

    Attempted casting...

    Right on, looking good. Thanks for taking on this project! I may be in the market for some of these parts soon. (recently acquired a World's Series but haven't jumped in yet)

    Sure. Im trying to do the parts noone else is reproducing so that we can bring some more of these wonders back to life.
    I can do other parts too if needed

    I think its fantastic that people like you are doing this type of work reproducing parts that are otherwise not available and probably never will be. Keep up the great work !!!
