And being all external, much easier to clean than using a borescope, mirrors, and picks. There is also a LOT more open area on this pre-filter, so it would take a lot more RTV stuck to it before it will have any significant effect on flow.
Auto/Oil rated grade of Nylon. We've used them a lot from AOS', water pump inlets, and oil pans. The newer printing materials and process capabilities have come a long way. I never would have dreamed of bolting on printed plastic parts for real world testing 25 years ago!

Has this been tested in the wild? Would this actually make it into PROD? Cost? Thanks.
