Ok, bear with me. Not a expert in this field, hence my questions.

Was working on my CV this eve and noticed that while the back box “animated box” is in decent shape, it would be nice to see what would be involved to 3D model a new plastic box that the lights mount in as well as the motor and ball etc.
the machine I am working on had incandescents in it as it probably did it’s entire life and the heat did not do the plastic any favors. I am sure that this is a common issue in this area of the game.

So, 3D gurus, what would we be looking at to duplicate this part?

Thank you

Again, bear with me. So you could not use a 3D printer to make the plastic box, only a mold that would then be used to make it? Sound like that would be a lot more costly as opposed to just 3D printing it if possible. I would want to make some improvements to the original design. Is this something that you’re capable of doing?
