3d printing.

A friend is an engineer at an small aircraft manufacturer. He recently was moved to a department where he has access to a 3d printer. I recently introduced him to road biking and the last time I saw him he showed me this material and asked if I wanted anything printed with it. His idea was the front fork.

He says it's cheap and stronger than carbon fiber. Felt very light as well. He made it sound like it wasn't a problem to have whatever I want printed up but I just want to owe him 1 favor not a dozen.

So I was wondering if anyone has done anything like this before or has any idea of maybe the most useful thing to have printed. Would seem like a waste to not take advantage of the opportunity.
