Hi all. I have never done 3D printing before, and I am not sure if this is a job for a 3D printer. I ordered a vintage sewing box for my wife, and the corner was damaged. I starting thinking that we could get a patch printed and glue it on the box. Is this even possible, and if so, how do I go about starting that?
Hi Andrew
I think it coul’d be done by scanning or measuring the shape of the crack, you can make the cornerdamage greater so you have a regular shape. Any overall dimensions will be welcome.
But where do you live?

you can create the missing part, but unfortunately those who will carry out the work will need to have in my hands the object broke because you can take measurements.
us in the store have already recreated many parts of articles or as in this case to repair the objects broken.
Honestly don’t think a 3D printed corner is the way to go. I would make a form on the inside with several layers of parchment paper and tape then use a clear two part epoxy to rebuild it. Would take some work like Bondo on a car
Personally, I think u should use the bindi technique- unless u want to make a more hegira regular shape by breaking it even more
If you cant fix it, you can order a new one on my hub ( Marceau’s hub ) i can design it for you, with a custom shape, It’s possible to add some compartiments to hold the sewing tools for exemple, and engravings, any kind of engraving is possible, even pictures. I am in Paris, France, and i’ would be glad to work on that project.
Thanks. I’m going to try to fix it first, then see where it goes. If I can’t, I’ll reach out for a part to get printed.
Sorry man I think thats not going to be fixable
