Hello Tynan,
I read your posts when I have free time and this post somehow resonated more so i decided to comment.
I have this problem very often, when a plastic part of specific machine breaks its not easy to find replacement and even if you find it one it costs a lot (50% of total machine cost).
I was wondering if it is possible to make profitable business out of this?
Many philips machines have plastic parts and it is impossible to find replacements so you basically throw the machine into the garbage.
I am interested to hear your opinion about this.
I think more people nowadays try to extend the life of their devices because they dont want to create more garbage and 3D printers might fit pretty well in this picture.

Best,
Alex
