I love that 820 on the yellow bug.
So shiny!
But I think a saw motor on one would be interesting, considering that you already have one with an 820.

Also, Ted:
1. There are known shrinkage constants for each metal you cast. We adjust the size of the 3D print to compensate for that constant.
2. I have a Formlabs 2 3D printer and castable burnout resin.
3. We (dad and I) print with a .stl file.
4. It's usually about 100 dollars of time and material to make the printed burn-out plug, and another 200-300 dollars to create the plaster casting mold and to cast the part in metal.
Alternately, you can submit .stl files to shapeways.com for metal sintering. About the same price, but requires more hand finishing and polishing upon receipt.
