This is just an offshoot of a bigger trial to print an "all in one" pulse pump and fuel control "block" - getting close on that one too but fighting getting the unit to seal up tight. Have a working unit but its still a little leaky...
Do you think a sla resin should be gasoline resistant in Time it should be more accurate than fdm in nylon petg asa or abs, i have sla and fdm printers i should try your STL but personally, trying to maximise experience of conversion as we use to hear by now, i'm using brutus1967's aluminium housing.
