It's a great idea and one that will be needed in the future and like you mentioned with bus spare parts. I always buy 2nd hand cars and often go to car yards for 2nd hand parts. Cheaper and I prefer older sports cars. I'm a Holden man (GM)
But now that Holden has left the nation it will be harder to get parts in the future. A great business idea would be to establish a car parts shop solely with a 3D printer specialising in older models.
None of this waiting for imported items etcs. Make an order, click and collect in a few days when it's ready.

There was a firm that was about 45 minutes from me that became renowned for fabricating old parts for Corvettes. They were around forever, well known. However, GM started to 3-D print the parts from digital files and put them out of business.
It is amazing how quickly a technology can disrupt a business. Decades of success gone in a couple years.

Oh wow GM did it more affordable than a firm. In Australia it's the other way around. But we lost GM (Holden) thats why my V6 SV6 Sports Wagon is gonna be a relic in the future 🤣 but I need a 3d printer parts will be hard to come by.
