You Might NEED This SIMPLE Upgrade

Today I'm making a "premium" upgrade to my mini lathe!
Follow along while I demonstrate how to transform plastic hand wheels into durable metal ones using 3D printed patterns and metal casting.
I'll cover every step of this DIY project from design, to 3D printing, mold prep, casting metal, machining, and fitting them to the lathe.
Plus, I will provide the 3D print files on my patreon in case you want to follow along and make some for yourself.
