(OP)
I want to 3D print a tyre valve which will be used for functional tests.
The regular material is brass. I request suggestions on the following.
(a) What can be the material for 3D printing? The part made using this material should withstand air pressures upto 10 bar.
(b) The valves will have threads cut on the external surface. Can we cut the thread by machining on a 3D printed component.
Thanks

If you have to 3D print it, print each part, then tap/die the threads.

It is better to have enough ideas for some of them to be wrong, than to be always right by having no ideas at all.
