When certain parts are unobtainium, it could be the only way to go. Of course, the quality of the 3-D printed part is going to depend largely on the type of material you're using. It should work great for trim parts, but structural parts that have a lot of stress on them could be another story altogether. Suffice it to say that, intriguing as the concept may be, we're still quite a way off from Star Trek's replicators.

Printing parts is what I wantt to do.
You could make -kirby wheels, handle grip, ends of cords, belt caps -Old vacuums wheels wear out and are brittle. -Adaptors for bags There's people that would pay good money for parts. If you become good you could charge a premium price. I want to do it like I said and probably will in the fall. |
