Here's the whole tool chain used in this process:
AutoDesk Fusion 360, to sketch idea up
AutoDesk Designer, to do CAD model and make stl file
Cura for slicing stl file into gcode ready for printing
Octoprint running on Raspberry Pi driving a Printrbot Simple Metal 3D printer, to print the gcode
You'd sink $5000 into this setup to make one throttle link, not a good return on investment if that's the only thing you're doing it for
But... you'd be able to stamp 'em out for pennies a piece once you got going.
Which reminds me, if you need one of these, I'd be happy to print one out and mail it to you. At today's shipping costs $10 reaches pretty much anywhere around the world, I'd ask you only cover shipping.
