Kind of an oddball question, but has anyone tried or thought about attempting to use either additive (printer) or subtractive (milling) 3D printing methods for reproducing hard to find plastics or frequently broken bezels on older machines? I'm thinking of things like the front LCD panel on the powerbook 500 series is almost always broken off. Or CDROM or zip drive bezels for Q900/950 machines. Things like that.

I guess the first step would be getting printable 3D models of the plastics. So has anyone tried any of it? There are services online where you send them an STL file and they send you back the printed object, and figured it might be worth a shot.
