I shot Gigaloo lubricant in the joints so I'm safe.... For now.
I walked on a thin line, however.

This make me think. No one at Shapeway or Nonef (or someone) thought about making 3D printed replacements of the gold parts that are commonly broken on Transformers figures? I know it take man hours to design and create those parts for maybe too few sales to be truly worth it, but still...

Depends on the quality of the printer and the design file.
For what collectors like us intend it for, it should be fine.
