I'm not gonna be the last person to say it, but DAMN that is sick. Not sure you wanted to share that ability with all us as you're going to get a few hundred requests for various knob, switches and the like.
Now who on the board is a CAD head? We gotta have somebody? Last time I did 3D modeling it was in 3D Studio that ran in DOS. My uncle uses CAD for designed new Target floor plans, so you'd think a knob or two wouldn't be tough. I could ask around with him and others he works with about it.
Between someone with basic CAD skills and some time on their hands, and your 3D printer, I think you'll have a heck of a business of orders from everyone on the board. I'd bet that if all the members knew of this, you could get a list of 'orders' and probably crank out a couple dozen Lasonic knobs, some M70/M90 and Conion C100F knobs and the like. Instead of doing a ton of one offs, get all the orders from everyone and then do a run of them all at once. You just get to figure out a price that's worth your time, same for the CAD work person. I know I'd pay $7+ to get a missing switch, knob, or otherwise.
Now if you could get a printer that could do battery cover sized items, there's another 200 orders.
Just my thoughts. Damn I wish I had one of those things. I'd be printing missing parts for Boxes, old Transformer toy missing pieces, etc etc etc.
