3d print an intake manifold?

Oddball question for my LS project I am getting back into.

2000 Ls1. Has anyone printed and used a 3d printed intake manifold. We have a decent 3d printer at work. Might practice with it. Any models out there that copies like a FAST INTAKE? Any tips?

just browsed and surprised intakes are still like $900.

Haven’t seen it done in an LS application but I’ve seen it done in other applications. Typically using CF-Nylon. I’d check out “3D printing - auto and moto” group on FB

We use to use water soluble filament then lay carbon up over the 3d printed manifold. This was on a FSAE car though
