Reprogramming obsolescence: 3D printed replacement pieces for broken things
Over the years things break, most of the time it is just a small secondary piece that should be easy to replace, however it is most of the times difficult, if not downright impossible, to source these components - vendors are happy to sell you the next model instead of spares, much bigger margins for them.
This is a collection of 3D-printable replacement spares that we have designed to replace some of those hard-to-find components in an effort to extend the working life of equipment around us, I hope these are as useful to you as they have been for us.
