3D Printing for Custom Mash Gasket

[Dent Arthur Dent]

I recently printed out a mold for a custom gasket for my mash tun (I was being anal about having the EXACT part I wanted to make it work). After some time spent in CAD and a few prototypes that needed refining, I was then able to mold the (almost) perfect, food-grade silicone gasket (rated up to 400ºF for overkill).

Anyone else used 3D printing to solve a brewing problem? With the temperature limitations of common filament materials and the toxicity of resin, I'd love to know what people have come up with!

Might be interested in this thread Homebrew Talk 3D Print Thread.

I have a good amount of 3D printed parts around my brew system and workshop, but nothing that touches wort.
