3D Printed Records Bring New Tunes to Iconic Fisher-Price Toy Player
Have an old toy Fisher-Price record player your kids aren’t exactly enamored with? Now, thanks to the miracle of 3D printing, you can create new records for it.
Courtesy of Fred Murphy, this Instructables tutorial will guide you through the process of taking music and encoding it in a 3D printer file that will yield a tiny plastic record the Fisher-Prince record player can play. Check out the video above to see the finished product or hit up the link below to read the full tutorial.

This guy did not create a 3D printed record, but it was CNC milled. Still pretty cool, though! There are other people that have created a 3D printed record. http://www.instructables.com/id/3D-printing-records-for-a-Fisher-Price-toy-record-/
This is cool, but it was milled, not printed.
No, it’s printed. He says that his first ones were milled but he decided to do a 3D printed version as not many people had access to a CNC machine.
Because many people have access to a 3D printer? I wouldn’t even know how to go about getting something “3D printed”. Maybe we should have a guide on that?
