3D Printing Mechanical Music Instrument Parts
By Jeff Bridges

Hey guys!  Two things --

(1) I started learning how to do 3D printing; I love it!  3D printing
has come a long way from the crap that's been out there for cheap
machines.  Granted, you have to learn how to design what you want, but
once you learn the software it's a snap.  I have made two clocks from
https://www.thingiverse.com/ and loads of other stuff, too.

I have two printers.  I am trying to teach myself how to design some
player piano parts.  When I finally have perfected it, the items will
be up for sale through Piano World.

(2) Now on to my next problem. I have an Ampico A grand piano and
the on/off switch has crapped out.  I have tried to fix it.  I know
the problem: internally the switch flips off center and doesn't fully
engage.  Anyone got a spare?  Once I get the switch fixed, the piano
will be up for sale, fully restored.  Email me at jeffrey dot bridges
at charter dot net.
