Got a few broken tabs on my curtains. Was going to attempt to 3D print them. Anyone done that before?

Hello!
I have also thought about doing this! I do know that Home Depot sells some mighty fine alternatives... but if you're a DIY guy, I totally get that too!
If I end up doing mine, I'll share the file with you.
Glad to see another Delica in the states.

Hi
I ended up using standard tabs, which do fit the rails if you unmount the rails and squeeze them a bit more narrow (in a vice), then put standard tabs in and remount the rails. Downside is that the Mitsubishi tabs will not fit any more, so you have to replace all of them for new ones.

I figure if you can make an accurately operational firearm with a three dee printer then chances are you ought to be able to fabricate a small plastic drape hanger. Probably six years ago, this subject came up in a thread regarding making parts for Delicas. This led to Jay Leno trying to find a part for a steam car whose manufacturers had gone out of business sometime in the early 1920s. Here's the vid:
