An FDM printer can absolutely do the job. My kids are always breaking the battery covers, which I recreate via a FDM printer without issue. He needs to realign how the part is printed, the layer height, and possibly nozzle size. He can also

Have you ever rented a car from a small company? The entire process sucks. Yea it is ok if it is a once a year vacation. But for a business trip it is such a waste of time.

The author is making an excuse for not including an intro chapter and tool in his book to get the reader to a place where they can start using the book. My sixth grader checked-out a Python game programming book from the school library. He
