Not to scale, of course, but it does work! And it's about as slow as the original.

Why would the title call it "fully 3D printed"? It's obviously not. Am I just being pedantic?

switch from fully to mostly, makes sense

While it has some pretty impressive 3D printed parts on it I wouldn't even go so far as to say mostly. The gears the battery holders, some of the decorative facing. The entire frame is extruded aluminum and custom aluminum plates.

I don't want to take away from that beautiful control rack or those huge gears they printed out but by weight or volume I would say that it's not more than 30% printed
