I posted in the em hangout but would also like opinions on reproducing this part as in 3d printing.
It is from the scoring unit on a Chicago Coin Royal Flash pinball here are the pictures. I did reglue it with a medium type ca glue. I have not tested it and not sure how long it will last. Here are the pictures.

Let me know your thoughts on it and also if you have a spare used one.

Quoted from swinks:

nice work wolf and good on you for helping.
agree some designs are better suited for shapeways because of the binding process they use. With the models I have uploaded there I have added U versions. U signifies an upgrade in the design to strengthen the design where possible. Checked out the model images and simply adding a small radius in corners helps add strength to the design and reducing shear (fail) points.
Hope that helps
below is the bally ball launch arm standard and U version

I did these for a restorer in Aus

Those turned out good. Nice to see that these parts can be made.

I was able to try one out today and all looks good , just have to hone out the 2 inside diameters.
Thanks again John for putting this together!!

Quoted from TheNoTrashCougar:

This is great to see! Wolf, you may want to try and print these in Nylon. That would hold up extremely well to friction and impact.

I sent him an email as well.
