I've had several people ask how to get fairings for their airplane here at Osh. I've been ordering this stuff from a company called Shapeways. You upload a cad file and they will print it for you. They have very nice, high end printers. They also give you a way to set up an online store for your designs. Below is a link to my "store." If you'd rather deal directly with me, that's fine. Just PM me.
For those interested, keep in mind that this stuff is all new. There's not a lot of data out there for people using 3D printed parts on airplanes. So far, it's worked out pretty good for me, but I can't really claim that these are flawless, fully tested products. I've only got 44 hours on them so far. Just keep this in mind if you are thinking about buying something.
On pricing, you have the option of slowing the delivery time down for a cheaper price when you are checking out. I'd like these to be cheaper but they cost what they cost....
Feel free to ask questions if you have them.
