Default 3D printers and laser engravers

I have looked into do-it-yourself 3D printing as a source for those unobtainable parts. Parts such as knobs and many others items that are now just not available for the restorer.

Also, there are now hobby laser engravers / cutters available, another world of home manufacturing possibilities has opened up.

Have any MLU members looked into this ?

The downside is: you have to be very proficient at using CAD software. Not an easy learning process to learn from scratch.
