Aww man you wont make me a part if I offered to pay for your services? Kidding...I know you would...right?....would you?...?It must remain a hobby, so it's not like i intend to run a manufacturing workshop.

Definitely. Was just messin with you. You don't come off as someone who wouldn't help out a fellow Hobbyist.I am the kind of guy who would rather occasionly make some for free/cost price or help/teach someone. Doing someone a favor is still hobby, selling is not. don't want any side jobs, i have a good dayjob and don't want anything that would certainly interfere with it.
Update:
I made some tweaks to the parts, finished the 4 piece mold design and spend 50h on printing and sanding:

Because it's a tricky design it was quite hard to get all the fiber in there in time. Luckily i had my cousin over so a welcome extra pair of hands. Alone I would not have been able to get it done. Future parts are gonna be less complex.
It's all clammed up and curing atm

I hope the result is gonna be worth the effort.
Mr ground effect RC also discovered the forged carbon
Making spoilers is always a good idea and less complex than a diffuser
After some prepping it's starting to look much better. I am considering to sand it down much further as it's currently 360gr, slightly heavier than i would like it to be.

It has been awhile since this thread was active. I watched that forged carbon video this morning (before I found this thread). I want to make some for my limitless. If I enjoy doing it, I might make it a side job. Do you have any advise on getting this to work right? I don't have a 3d printer, but I want to buy one in the next 12 months. I would like recommendations for a mid range 3d printer.
We have had many threads on this, but overall the most recommended is the Creality Ender 3 V2 for the low cost and easy ability to be upgraded. If you do not want to invest in upgrading and need a large print size then the CR-10 is a solid option (300x300x400).

Tex covered most of the 3D printer part of the question, a little extra adviseIt has been awhile since this thread was active.

But, I was thinking of doing that...I think @Tex Koder needs to make and sell some forged carbon parts
Then he can do all the manufacturing in-house and cut out the middle man. I don't have the time for this stuff, but it seems he might.
