If any of you would like to have parts made by the 3D printing process, you can use printing services like Shapeways. They'll happily make you just one (or even one hundred) of your part at a reasonable cost and ship it right to your door. They have a selection of materials to suit various needs too. We use them for R & D projects here at work, and I've had no-longer-available plastic parts made for my old VWs too. If you're not making loads of parts, using these services is a good cost-effective way to utilize this technology.
