Are the files ?platform independent?? I know very little about 3D printing, but have been
tempted to get a printer for a while now. Though I?m worried about what my kids wanting
to use it. :-)

FWIW, the easiest way to find out if somebody has made (or has tried
to make) replacement parts for anything that can be 3D-printed is to
go to thingiverse.com with your web browser.
And then search for whatever thing you need (search terms / words are
a separate subject, try as wide or as many as have time for.
When you find a part, look at pictures, comments, makes and so on to
try to figure out if this is a working part or just something somebody
has mad a 3D model of, and never tested.
Some relevant examples:

Torfinn However I began to think would it be possible to
create a close copy of an 8/e out of modern parts.
Redoing the CPU in obtanium TTL would be desirable.
