Thanks Dennis, what is the former usually made out of?

I do remember now some of the flywheels that you have cast.

For die cast, can the graphite blocks be used more than once?

Formers used to most always  wood but can be other things
 now quite a few now use 3D printed plastic ?
 Yes graphite blocks can be used repeatedly

Thanks Dennis, yes I can imagine how 3D printing would be a huge help.
