    Rumor has it, the monorail will be dismantled in the next couple of years due to not being able to get parts.

    You’d think that with 3D printing, ‘No more parts’ would become a thing of the past.

      3d printing isn’t magic lol, you still need to put in substantial time redesigning parts, and 3d printed (at least fdm) parts are way weaker than injection molded ones. they also cost a lot more money per part.

      electronics and large metal parts like bogies are also definitely not 3d printable.
