Thanks Chris I saw that before.  Don't tell anyone but I'm a bit of a rivet counter, not badly but somewhat.  That is the jack for the Tiger 1 and Panther.  The KT had a 20 ton tall.  The only person that makes them is Mike Stennard and his go for I think $60 - $250.00.  He is a craftsman and all of his parts are working.  So his jack actually functions with gears and all.  I just wanted the exact jack as a static part.  Plus the big part of the experiement is to see how this process works so we can try it with the running gear next.
 
Thanks for sending.  :)

So I'm assuming that this jack didn't have enough detail for you?

Thanks Chris, this is actually an experiment.  Please see attached pic.  They come in many different materials and different prices.  We are starting with the cheapest and hope that the detail will show and will go from there.  Keeping our fingers crossed that the details will show.  :)

Pulled the trigger yesterday and sent my 20 ton jack to Shapeway's for printing.  Charlie thanks for the name I had never heard of them.  Only cost $25.00 to have it printed.  When it arrives will get it to Frank and see if it's ok for molding.  If so we will try it with a sprocket next, hopefully I didn't screw it up to badly.  :)

i'd be curious to see pictures of the jack when it arrives and some close-ups of it to see how well it turned out. $25.00 seems to be very cheap and hope because it's round it doesn't turn out bad.
