Hey that is a good idea :) Man these 3d printers are
so awesome!
Its getting to the point where, one could 3d print anything.
Don?t quote me on this, but i think Jay Leno, One of his mechanics 3D prints up working
car parts that are not made any more of for some of those 100 year old cars he has.

A couple of weeks ago I printed the elevator bellcrank for a Spitfire (the
fighter) as a test. They need to fix some issues with the model, but it
will be reprinted 2% larger and will be used to cast an aluminum
replacement for a restoration.
When the job was done: http://www.geneb.org/spitfire/bellcrank-done.jpg
After the support was removed:

to see the other photos.)
I've also printed a replacement platen knob for an ASR-33 for a group
member. :)
