Default Re: 3D Printing a Philips N1500/N1700 Player

If you're 3d printing you will need to test and reject far more parts than buying a few old machines and cannibalising! The comparison with printing earl 20th century car parts and a video player is like comparing flint tools with an iPhone. This may be possible at some point but I doubt it would be worth your while unless you were going to make hundreds of them. Just capturing and testing a single circuit board would probably take weeks and then you would have the problem of sourcing all the individual components.
