Thank goodness for 3D printers! I've had some old toys that were stored for decades and found that the plastic had melted together like that as well. Glad you could replicate the parts!
I’m glad you mentioned this phenomenon. I have a pair of beloved remote control walking dinosaur toys which my brother and I received for Christmas about 1971. They too have this issue which I always thought strange. Where the wire cord for the remote touched against them in the box the plastic of the dinosaur body melted as of it were acidic. These were sold by SEARS in the late 60s/early 70s but I think they may have been of Hong Kong manufacture. A T Rex and a Triceratops. They no longer walk and growl - one of these days I may get brave and try to crack open their plastic bodies to see what the issue is. Your channel is my inspiration. But I don’t want to destroy them, and I believe they may have been glued - rather than screwed - together at the point of manufacture. Still, where there’s a will, there’s a way.
@@PeterAgostiniJdcap26 There are lots of RUclips videos on using it. There is a learning curve, but you do not have to learn everything that the program can do, just the things that interest you.

Go for it. Yes, and as for the plastic chemical problems, we have to keep in mind that these toys were never meant to last 10 to 50 years.
3D printers have made such a difference!
How did you duplicate it ?
Great repair work 🤖👍
Just designed the new part in Design Spark Mechanical, a free CAD program. The 3d printed it.
@@Robothut is is difficult to use , for me I’m sure it would be . I think I looked at once before . Ty John

@@Robothut Thanks John well put.
@@Robothut not compatible with Mac 🖥️ ..i could not find Mac version
Anyone seeing a Gigantor thing going on.
