Default 3D Printing of parts

Hi Everyone
Back after some time off and several vehicle changes and a move to Tasmania and have wound up with another AU Falcon, finally the XR6 I was attempting to create using various other platforms (long story). Appears very original with standard broken headlight mounts etc. I searched for 3D printing but didn't find much new, is anyone on here making parts for the harder to get items these days, eg xr6 headlight mounts, xr6 headlight protectors etc. Unfortunately while in Canberra I had all this stuff in excellent condition but the move to Tassie saw it all sold off without thinking I might end up with another one down the track. Anyway, if anyone has any responses, i look forward to hearing them. Cheers Glenn

Thanks mad2, will keep that in mind. I thought there might be some out there experimenting with the 3d printing for these smaller type parts. Would rather keep original but you have to do what you have to do. Will pull bumper off to repair and spray when it warms up so I will see if the old ones are too broken to fix.
