I see people here fabbing up new lenses for wingtips, etc. How is that being done?
I would like to reproduce the fiberglass tip on the VS with some clear plastic to enclose a beacon. I'm prepared to sacrifice the fiberglass tip I have to make this happen.
I have approached several local plastics places about this, and none of them seem able to do this.
Am I asking the wrong question? The wrong people? It seems possible theoretically but I'm finding the reality challenging. I've never seen 3D molding do anything transparent, so I'm guessing the laying down of layers in that process would make clean and clear items impossible?
