my recent home project was fixing a broken toy parts that no longer available. will be primed & painted. over engineering just to fix a toy? no, this is my small contribution reducing landfill till I absolutely have to let go. My very first print practice piece trashcan hinge is still serving the purpose. Used Straucture Sensor for scanning broken parts, re-modeled in Maya and printed in Ultimaker.
as long as remember from my childhood, Japan has volunteer based toy repair services (Toy Hospital) and I grew up being taught to repair if I can. i cannot fix everything but i like the problem solving aspect of this process. also running a large print job is very satisfactory at the end 🙂
