Nice.
Those parts would be anyway hard to sell.
For the company would be a struggle to have a distribution for spare parts and they would cost more than the product anyway. So they can reach the customer through 3d printing and make their product live longer with a minimal effort. More brand should act like this.
@_haha_oh_wow_ @PotatoLibre I wonder if this isn't the way to cut costs on #RightToRepair in #EU - you just put out STLs and it's up to customer to fix his problem
Still good! Printers are quite common these days: you either have one or maybe know someone who has one.
@PostaL
I'm not saying it's not - actually both manufacturers and customers may benefit this way
