Hi everyone,
I was reading an article in Sound on Sound recently about how Moog have recently painstakingly built an accurate replica of Keith Emerson's modular synth.
What was particularly interesting was that they asked a 3D printing company to recreate some of the switches on the synth "and asked whether they could replicate the correct colours and degrees of translucence. Astonishingly, the printers were able to do so".
Excuse my ignorance here, but I was wondering - what implications does this have for us?
For example, I remember asking on the list if anyone had any spare knobs for an MTM a while back but it turned out they were particularly rare. Is it feasible that a 3D printers would be able to recreate these? Is this sort of thing expensive and are there limits to the kind of things they can print?
Thanks
Chris
