Yes, the plants have 3d printing. The one we have is massive. Nice if you need something in a pinch, then paying the big helicopter bill to fly parts in.
And unlike the Torx screws we saw earlier on the dividers - these look like easily removable plastic snapins. at lease the two clearly visible in this image. Unless these are plastic overs over Torx screws.Still no pony cutouts like we saw in the first rendering but @OutofSpecKyle's walkaround

confirms the divider is boldly emblazoned with Mach E just like we saw in the KBB pictures above.
It certainly looks better than the ones at the Mach E Tour stops that looked like they'd been 3D printed.
I happen to know a 45 year old story of a Ford plant that unexpectedly ran short on a specific type of screw and they couldn’t figure out why. To keep production going, they had to charter a plane to go to the manufacturer of the screws, take them to the place where the screws were treated for corrosion resistance (sorry, I don’t know the details of screw making for automotive electronics), then fly the screws to the plant. All so widgets would continue to flow smoothly to auto assembly plants. A few weeks later, the “missing” screws were found. It seems some forklift operators at the factory needed ballast/counterweights for their forklifts and grabbed some heavy boxes that were laying around ?
Years ago, when 3D printing was still really new and super expensive, I had a former colleague that I ran into at a conference. He worked at a large cable channel at the time (not naming to protect him ?), and mentioned that 3D printing was a godsend, because they had these very expensive cameras that would have little plastic parts break all the time, and would have to wait two weeks or more to get the parts from the manufacturer... they started to 3D print them on request and saved a ton of time and money.
Seems like some effort has been made to keep only one mustang in view at a time. Like the car is one Mustang, would be weird to see one in the divider and anther directly above it in the under hood cover.Still no pony cutouts like we saw in the first rendering but @OutofSpecKyle's walkaround

(apologies in advance to post patrol)
Same here:
I assume you printed it on its side? Did you have to add a lot of supports ?Same here:
You can see in my post a video with some of the printing. We did print it on its side so not a ton of supports needed.
