    Default Possible to 3D Print a 1920 Float?

    I am almost completely ignorant of this process, but this idea came to me the other day while obsessing on the life expectancy of my carb float.

    I was sick for quite a while, I had LOTS of time to obsess on various things.

    Is this 3D-print idea even remotely possible?

    Holley 1920 floats should be out there. Chrysler Products used them in their 170/198/225 CID Slant Six engines.

    Are they hard to find?

    Unobtainium, it seems. I haven't seen them offered anywhere that sells 1920 parts or rebuild kits. If they're out there, I haven't found them.

    The floats are solid. I have never had a problem with the floats. Lot's of problems with ethanol and the rubber parts but no float problems.

    What problem are you seeing with the float?

    Obsess much?

    I wasn't aware they were solid, and the problem I see is that they're not available, and not something readily lending itself to shadetree fabrication.

    I've been sick for almost a month-- I've had lots of time to ruminate on things.
