3D printing has gotten a lot of excited press in recent years because of  
the advent of relatively cheap machines. Sometimes I see suggestions for  
making TTY parts with them.
It is possible, but just for a dose of reality,  I just read an interview 
with Jay Leno talking about making auto restoration  parts like connecting 
rods and pistons with his 3D printer - but the article  didn't mention that 
the model he uses starts at $185,000.


So, I wouldn't count on making replacement metal parts unless you can  
first make a winning lottery ticket....
