Default Re: Murphy U198H and the impossible wave change lever.

It's impressive. I recall mentioning 3D printing a few years back and some people asking if it was a joke [I had thought that myself originally] but it was quickly being seen as ideal for this sort of usage rather than machining parts or using resin in moulds [I don't have those skills but printing doesn't require them]. At that stage 3DP was being pitched widely as part of a new economic structure where parts would be printed in the home [the example was a new Lawnmower Handle]. Of course this model assumed the customer would [a] want to do this [b] had the to fit the replacemen-diminishing these days! It's hard to predict the future Ideal for vintage restoration though. Maybe someone with access to a high quality machine could offer a service on a "paid for" basis? Just a thought.
