    Would a 3D printed whirlpool bath jet stand up to the pressure?

    I have an old whirlpool bath that's missing a jet. I'm looking at the possibility of getting one of the jets I still have 3D scanned and printed, but don't know if it's even possible or if it would stand up to the pressure. Any thoughts or comments?

    I've attached a picture of jet and believe I could find the spring and decorative ring, but need to get the 2 pieces in the middle created since I can't seem to find anyone that has them or a replacement for them.

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    looks like an old Jacuzzi Hk jet that some ancient pool store may have laying around but ABS, Nylon even PetG but not PLA would work

      I don't think the pressure would be an issue, more likely the temperature would be the limiting factor (with PLA). Personally I'd measure it up (why scan?, it's not that complex is it?) and then print it out in PLA.
