VPI 3D tonearm

See article in NY Times today about 3D printers. V interesting.

I couldn't find the NY Times article. What is the title?

Go to the ny times on the web, type in "3 D printer" in the search bar and it is the first url article (under a few url advertisements).

So one piece tonearm, made out of composite material, a traditional VPI uni-pivot. I would think the race, or female portion of the pivot, which is in the arm would have to be the traditional stainless steel, not composite. I am speculating here, but I should think if you turn the tonearm over there would be a stainless still receiver for the pointed uni-pivot on the base of the VPI arm. I can't wait to hear some reviews about that arm. I tend to tighten things quite a bit, I should think with a composite head, consideration should be made not to tighten the cartridge screws too much as to not damage the head.

Yes, HW suggests using Peter Ledermann's EZ Mount cartridge hardware (start with the brass) so as to avoid cracking the headshell. Or, don't overtighten the headshell screws :)
