I just bought a 3D printed piece for my virtual boy that allows you to replace your missing virtual boy stand with a standard camera tripod.

it got me wondering if somebody can make replacement pieces for the R.O.B. robot for NES?

I wouldn't mind getting my hands on some Stack On parts.  But considering the number of pieces needed, I'm willing to bet it would be cheaper to just buy the real thing.
Maybe, just once, someone will call me "sir" without adding, "you're making a scene."

Is that because they were printed cheaply or because 3D printing just isn't the right way to make those kinds of things?

Um thank you?  I have 3 Virtual boys, and 1 good stand.  So I ordered 2 of the tripod pieces!  I need to see if someone has done a 3d printed part to replace the stand joint that breaks all the time (the part that holds the legs).  I have 2 stands where this part is cracked or cracking and would LOVE to replace that to use them in the future.

This part..
