    I've seen silver-painted plastic boxes (which is basically what 3D printing will get you), but I don't know if they're still approvable or not.  I can tell you they don't look very good compared to actual metal boxes.

    Which I'm guessing is just sheet aluminum that was shaped/bent from the looks of it.

  2. In looking at the requirements:

    Crl rankbar dimensions.jpg Dimensions
    For 501st approval:

    Click the image for more detail.

    • Each bar is 1" (25.4 mm) height, length is determined by chosen rank.
    • Rank tile dimensions are 1/2" (12.7 mm)width x 3/4" (19 mm) height and about 1/8" (3.2 mm).
    • Tiles are mounted with 1/4" (6.4 mm) spaces between them.
    • Multiple tile rows are made from two separate metal strips, one atop the other and meeting together flush. 

    I took the dimensions and 3d printed using translucent ABS.  Would those be considered for approval if still placed on the appropriate metal bar?
