It’s too easy

Another lesson from: Is it plastic?  I can make that! 

I was working on my RV this weekend and found the plastic part on the drawer rail was broken.  The screw flange on one side was broken and the other side was completely missing.  Less than 10 mins later I had a design and got my printer working as I went back to doing other things.  It only took 37 mins to print and another 5 mins to install.  In total it was easily less than the time it would have taken me to drive to the store and back.  Not only that, it only cost about $0.25 in plastic.  I am starting to wonder why everyone doesn’t have a 3D printer now days.   Maybe if I keep sharing these easy wins people will start to pay attention.
