Hi!
The dust chute on my old Delta miter saw finally gave up the ghost -- I have patched & epoxied & taped it for several years now (part is obsolete & no one has any New Old Stock) and it finally just dissolved beyond recognition.
In my fruitless search for a replacement part, I did find some files that a Maker had designed to 3-D print one for himself. But, I don't have a 3-D printer.
What do you think is the best way for me to contact someone who could crank out this part? I would gladly pay for materials, labor, handling, electricity, rent, depreciation, mental anguish, beverages to soothe mental anguish, and any other reasonable expenses associated with such an endeavor.
I have downloaded a STL file and a STEP file, (from https://hackaday.io/project/47172-re...-for-miter-saw ) but don't know if that's all that is needed...
I'm not sure if this is an Etsy thing, or some of those other new-fangled ways that connect consumers with Makers, but I am willing to be educated by the ever-impressive collection of minds here at the creek.
Any advice is appreciated!
