3D printing parts

Is anybody printing discontinued parts? Looking for the printing files for the oil coupler

Part 420837390

Not sure I would trust that part to 3D printing. If it breaks so does your engine.

For sure. But unless there is a different part number I can check im out of luck.

They are discontinued

There is 1 on Ebay used. Maybe get that and find someone with cnc and have them make you a spare.

I 3d print a lot for both my day job and side work, and I wouldn't use a printed part as the oil drive coupler. I think if printed correctly out of the correct material there would be no issue but there are far too many people that can't print anything but PLA and do not match their materials to the needs of their functional prints. First 787 I ever pulled apart I was actually a little surprised a crtitical failure mode piece like that was some sort of nylon or poly or whatever it is and not machined aluminum.
