Default 3D printers

I've been making some components using glass fibre, finished with car
body filler. They are caps, covers, and adaptors for various sizes of

quite tough. The ones I've made are entirely satisfactory except for one
thing: it takes too long to make them. So, I was wondering about 3D
printing. Are the products from these tough, waterproof, and UV resistant?

Not really.

Can't you make a simple mould for your fibre glass?

You could 3D print the mould...
