I suppose a mold could be made from a crispy original and then a rubber compound could be used. Seems that most 3D printing is geared toward materials that are rigid (plastic and/or metallic).gramophone78 wrote:Retrograde wrote:I wonder if 3D printing a replacement would be an option?
That is a heck of a good idea. The only thing is....can they be made from a pliable material as per the originals..??.
I've never had anything 3D printed, but I know there are places on the interwebnets that do it. Visit Shapeways for example.
Update: I did a quick search and found that there are many outfits that do rubber 3D printings.
