If anyone is interested i've posted philco 608 face plate on thingiverse
https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4610721. If you need to 3D print one. I've designed it myself using pictures i found online. It fits great my philco 41-608 (after sanding and painting it, see the pic I've attached). I also made turntable wheels for same model let me know if you interested.
Thanks for posting that! I'm sure it will help some folks who need that piece.
Nice job.
It won't be long before you can print a ham sandwich. Well, you can now. It tastes like plastic. One day though - - Scotty have somebody take a look at that replicator. Everything tastes like PVC.
No - really, nice job.
Thanks, I'll be posting more random radio parts on that account. Right now I'm fixing Philco 77 so had to make a couple of pieces for that one as well. Btw there are printers that print food already =).
Great job on recreating this part! I've added a link to it in the Philco Library under a new '3D Parts' section:

We'd love to link to any additional parts you've created too.
Thank you for such a great contribution to the hobby.

That's pretty cool and looks great. I'd like to play around with 3D printing but making the files seems a bit above my pay grade
Also working the bugs out of the affordable (Chinese) printers looks a bit daunting also. I know Kirk had a friend 3D print some Philco escutcheons that turned out pretty nice.
Keep up the good work and continue to post the items you've made and it might inspire one of us to take the 3D plunge...
Just to make it clear you don’t necessarily need to own a 3D printer to make 3D printed parts.
I've printed several things from Thingiverse (that others have made) for my other hobby of fixing up old Commodore 8bit computers. I don't own a 3D printer - I use one of the online printing services. Last time I used
https://craftcloud3d.com/. You just upload the files and then select the material to print with.
I use Ender 3. Probably the cheapest 3d printer you can get. No issues to work out. Requires minimum tweaking and prints are looking great. It probably saved me more money in random parts I've printed than I paid for the printer.
