Hi there! I’m pretty sure, that 3d printing is the way to go for such replacement parts. Most likely the part has to be modeled unless you already have a 3d model. Please share some more details, for example pictures, where the missing part would be, what it does and if there are special material properties, that the part should have, for example water tight, heat resistant, strong (not brittle), durable / long-lasting. If you would like my help for 3d modeling the part and printing it, you can contact me via my hub. Just click on the following link and select “contact this hub” : www.3dhubs.com/siegen/hubs/marius I hope to hear from you, Marius Breuer
Hey there @Michelle_Magill. Could you take a picture or two of the broken part? If you could also make a drawing, with dimensions, it would be ideal and I’m sure you’ll have a choice of designers. Then it’s up to you where you get the part printed. I’m sure you’ll find a 3DHub close to you. Where are you located? 3DHubs is all about local manufacturing.
Cheers,

Hey Michelle, do you mind specifying where you are located so that we know who can help you out
Hi Michelle,
Happy to help if needed, If you wanted to send me the broken piece(s) I could reverse engineer them, create a model and print.
Again, it just comes down to location etc.

Hi Michelle
Sounds do-able. We could probably replicate the part if you have the original pieces.

Adam
And let us know when you manage to do so with some pics
