Those small prints with that amount of detail can be difficult to achieve. The time to print and clean up you wind up with two much time to sell for what most people would pay for 3d printed plastic.

Re: Elgin Snow

Gilbert Snow is the name on the patent and it is assigned to The Elgin Wind and Power Company. There have been several discussions about weather the companies in the area shared ideas. Several of them had parts that looked the same between companies.
