    Redesign parts to fix known problem in the auto motive industry in models of cars that have a monopoly on cost and distribution of these parts. Just change it up a bit to avoid patient pending copyright. (Copyright normally only applies to new designs) vehicle manufactures tend to not renew patients on old designs after they make new models cause they already made their money off those models. Called engineered obsolescence

I scan the new part as best I can and then send it back for parts replacement warranty. Then print it and try different materials until it works as good or better then the engineered garbage. I want a metal printer but I don’t have the money and I’m a busy mechanic. And don’t really have the drive in me to try and open another business making parts. But for a software savvy expert like you could make those files and it could help a lot of garage mechanics that are tight on funds fix their cars and save them a lot of money.

      @@kevbot. honestly anything that helps do it yourself Wes fix their cars or home saves them a ton of money in service charges from trades. And since your home and car are likely the most expensive investments in most people’s lives. This is a massive potential to help a lot of people that can’t afford shark bite plumbing fittings or a new $79.99 shower head or whatever. Just common fittings and stuff to save people the extra money for household stuff. Like an adaptor to fit different lids on plastic wear cause their always lost lol. Or legs for their comfy chair that wobbles. Or a garden hose adapter to a sprinkler. These things are on the market already but look at Amazon for some fittings. It’s like $13 a fitting. 3D printing them by the dozen or hundred is pennies. And selling them is just as easy on the market as any other product. I see a lot of printing channels making random novelty stuff for entertainment. But imagine the market for cheaper building or repair products. I’ve even printed replacement parts for customers that I couldn’t get on 1 day orders but scanning the broken parts and filling in the missing or damaged areas and having the part made the next morning for instal before the customer even returns. And I basically give them the part for free cause it costs me like $1 and a hour or two to set the printer up. Doesn’t always work out but I’ve gotten a lot of return business just for trying my best to help them back on the road as fast as possible.
