Looking great. As much as I love 3D printing, for any visible parts you should get your designs laser cut (or milled) from metal (brass would go great with this build!) or acrylic. Whatever works best. Would be a tidier finish. You can use the printing for prototyping.
Glad you like it
Thank you, aluminum would be my go to but without a CNC and my printer dialed in, its just way to easy to go with 3d printed parts

You can obviously design parts in CAD well. It's not too hard to find local companies who will mill or laser cut what you want. You can always approach a prototype supplier in china too, for cost saving. I'm sure there are guys on this forum who can recommend some suppliers / fabricators. Some may even be willing to do the work for you, for an agreed price of course.
