The 3d printed lenses aren’t suitable for outside use for a lot of reasons especially since they are transparent. They would never survive the outside climates and are only used for prototyping. You can use 3d printing for outside parts but not if you want to be able to see through them. They need more structure etc.
My reproduction lenses are made from plastic injection molding and will be made exactly like the factory made them. I’m the only one using this method to reproduce the lenses, other methods are cheap and won’t be near the quality and fit and finish as plastic injection. You get what you pay for. Either kit car quality, or OEM quality.
