3D printing MAY get there,but for small relatively bespoke items it's years way. My words from a previous post below,

"How are you going to remake a SMD built model specific ECU when it gets fried with a short in the 45 year old wiring?I've seen first hand the present quality of 3 D printing bespoke components in the present aftermarket,it's very very basic,years away from becoming a true alternative,meanwhile theses cars will be retired"

Oh,and Stefan...look at the "IF" I pre empted the comment you refer to. Like I say,feel free to "invest" in these future money makers,everyone has a choice. I'm just mentioning the real risks. Just because the old iron is making money now isn't a given the new stuff will follow. Feel free to do as you will.
