   There are other forms of 3D printing where it might not be an issue.   
   Filamant and resin to my meager knowledge level might not be suitable,   
   but laser sintered metal powder might just do the trick.  A truly   
   capable machine would no doubt be beyond the budget of most of us here   
   in this group, well except for our rich mining magnate from the UK   
   (GRIN), but it can probably do that kind of work.   
      
   I'd have to ask my son about resin printing.  I can think of some   
   strategies where it might work.
