I think if you could show a few pics of some of the pieces you have created that might be a good way to start.

I know I for one would be interested in some side cannons, batter covers, etc. for vintage and potf2 walkers if the price was decent.

price is another thing that i'll have to figure out, if i cant do enough parts for cheap, than the whole idea is really dead in the water anyway i guess

Well I know folks are always gonna need the missles, bombs, backpacks, webbing, blaster pistols, blaster rifles, etc. things like that.

I know also that any vintage replacement part can be a huge expense. I don't know much yet how these printers work, but I have never ever seen replacement side cannons for either vintage or potf2 at-ats and think those would see like hotcakes.
