That's a Sharkguard isn't it?Im also interested in hearing how stiff/durable parts made from 3d printing can be? I know there is a wide range of filements that can be used, and have heard of 'carbon fiber' filament recently.
The part in question is a bracket that bolts under the cast table of a wood Tablesaw and holds a 'splitter'. Eg:
The orange level and stainless 'splitter' it holds are attached to the 'part' I illustrate in my first post above.
My pics are of a sharkguard bracket for a Unisaw, yes. My second post above was a generic sharkguard photo that is not related to the bracket in my first post. I added the generic sharkguard photo to allow people to visualize what the bracket might be for.That's a Sharkguard isn't it?
What make and model saw?
To answer part B of your original question, I don't think I would trust a 3D printed part for this. It will work for a while, until it doesn't. And that would be during a cut of course.My pics are of a sharkguard bracket for a Unisaw, yes.

Fusion360 has a Canvas import feature. Put your part on a scanner, take a jpg image of it. Or take some digital photos perpendicular to the face you need to model. Import a jpg into Fusion as a Canvas, then use the Calibrate function to calibrate the photo to an actual dimension.
I am totally one of those people. it's really about peace of mind, I don't have to worry that the 14 hour print I'm going to start is going to have adhesion issues 4 hours in. In the end l, it's all up to personal preference though.Ppl will tell you to go Auto bed level but frankly with the stronger springs I only re-level once every few weeks.
What's a good 3D printer that a beginner can grow into without having to rebuy it again in a few years? Or is the tech progressing to fast that people will end up upgrading it every 5 years anyway?I am totally one of those people. it's really about peace of mind, I don't have to worry that the 14 hour print I'm going to start is going to have adhesion issues 4 hours in.

everyone should have a printer. the ender 3 line is a great starter line for any beginner.
it really depends on what you want to do and how badly the 3d printing but has bitten you. I have a mk3 Prusa from the first batch to hit Canada and I still use it all the time. I also have an ender 3 that I use a lot, especially now that it can print 400mmx400mm. that's kind of the beautiful thing about fdm 3d printers, you can always upgrade parts and customize them.What's a good 3D printer that a beginner can grow into without having to rebuy it again in a few years?

The ender 3 line is much easier to customize since so many people have them and they are significantly more mod friendly. doesn't hurt that they are super reliable and capable machines. Pick up the ender 3 v2 if you can, it incorporates a lot of the changes many people like to do to the base ender 3.
