Graupner Paddle Wheel Sets

[hutch hutchinson]

Hi Guys
Have you thought about having the paddle wheels made on a 3D printer?
I have just two paddles made they are 85mm. x 20mm and were made in one piece for my Great Eastern 1-200 scale working model.  At first a friend did make them on a 3Dprinter for free!  they were in sections, spoke,rings and blades that I had to glue together but the spokes would not line up so I had them remade commercially
cost $20.00 for the cad drawing $65.00 for the wheels here in Adelaide,
cheers,
Hutch.

hi hutch,

any photos of the paddle wheels to see how they look, and could they be made commercially by some one at a reasonable cost.
