If you look closely, there's a S, a M, and a W in that part!

Funny that you ask. I just got a tracking number for the printer. Scheduled for delivery on Friday But the Kevlar and carbon fiber filament are backordered

That might be a blessing in disguise, probably a good idea to use the cheap nylon to get everything dialed in before using the high dollar stuff.
But I'm not telling you anything that you don't already know.

Need more grease?

Well that's not exactly how it works... All parts will be printed in nylon. The nylon is a proprietary blend that has an outrageous price tag. It has been engineered to serve as an ideal "glue" for bonding the re-enforcement fiber as well as just being awesome. Lol. It is also certified to be used anywhere on a vehicle other than directly on the engine. That being said I just found some FDA approved nylon that's cheaper!

So a part will have the cost of the nylon plus the cost of whatever fiber is used. For example XYZ part will cost $ in nylon, $$ with fiberglass re-enforcement, $$$ with Kevlar and $$$$ with CF. Lucky the software tells you exactly how much of each material is used so there shouldn't be any surprises in cost.

I have more info but am tired of typing on my phone.

Lol, no it's not like that at all. These parts will be in their own class and unlike anything currently on the market. There will be a learning curve on both sides of the fence.
