Collaboration on a 3D printed threading dial for a SouthBend 9C

@Jim F,
I'll even make you the same deal!
If you want to try a 3D-printed threading dial, all I ask is an honest review of how it works and how it holds up.
I have the printer, I have the filament, I have the model.
All I have to do is start it up and go to bed while it prints, and then get it in the mail.
I'd want to set reasonable expectations; I could print it within a week and send it out.
Feel free to PM* me with any questions, and your address if you're in.

@RWanke,
That's great news, and I was glad to be part of this experiment.
Thanks for the update!
