Coupe GT & NLA Audi parts

[Eric Sanborn]

That will work for low stress plastic bits. For rubber stuff you could try
silicone/urethane molding, but you would need a reasonably good part to use
as a master. For metal stuff it gets expensive.

I do think there is a market for this sort of thing. I have a printer at
work and have wanted to try my hand at the molding stuff.
