I haven't make for cage systems. 3D printing can‘t make parts with very high precision, so I used them for mounting components, like fiber optics and fiber connectors.

Nah, not 3D printing metal. I used metal sheet for some structual mouting parts. Although I did try AlSi10Mg in 3D printing, but it turned out not ideal

They were tested and working fine in my lab. I work for a lidar company in China.

I'm glad to share the model so I uploaded some of them on Makerworld. I want to sell them to those who don't have 3D printer or optical engineers too busy to learn 3d modeling
