If they could make this work in plastic, it will be even easier to get the tolerances with metal. You can also mold the parts.

- adrian_b 2y agoIt should be possible to make it by milling, even if that would waste a lot of material. For casting, the initial mold must be made by milling anyway (or 3D printing), even if some intermediate molds could be made by casting themselves.
