Playmobil 1976 Western fort tower roof support

Manufacturers who ceased producing parts for their discontinued products decades ago should really look into having custom replacement options like 3D printing made available. A great example of this necessity is the lack of support beams for the original 1976 Playmobil fort tower roof, which have been known to easily snap off or become misplaced due to their small size and flimsy design during typical use. To make matters worse, because they were last sold in the seventies, enthusiasts of vintage play sets might be left with nothing but frustration trying to source a matching pair to restore authenticity, unless one takes it upon themselves to explore the potential offered by rapid prototyping technologies that could bring back exact replicas of this specific piece that are no longer on store shelves.
