3-D printed replacement parts for Bandai millennium falcon, other than PG grade?

[chrislunetta]

Is anyone aware of a site that has 3-D printed replacement parts for Bandai millennium falcon models? Shapeways used to have some replacement parts for the 350 scale and the 144. Exhausted my Internet searching. I thought I'd throw the start out there and see if it landed on anything.

Try Antonio aka 308 Bits. he's former Shapeways, he has a page on Facebook "308 Bits" and he is printing on request.

The new handheld 3D scanners might prove to be a plus for modellers looking to replicate parts.
(as long as you have the original part to scan)
I don't know - I don't know anything about handheld 3D scanners.

I definitely will. Thanks for the lead!

Hope it helps, I've used his parts on my own 1/144 Falcon and I am very happy with his work.

Scanners arent quite there for that yet, but their usefulness for modeling is getting there. The biggest thing isnt the scanners themselves its the software.

A good example is why I bought mine. I wanted to both copy and edit parts, and create parts to fit. The first goal is a no go right now, but I can scan model car bodies and clean them up enough to make body kits that fit perfectly.

Every few versions we get closer and closer. There is software that can damn near get it done but at several grand Im not gonna grab it.
