That doesn’t stop a hobbyist though.
Anyone?

I don’t imagine many tool trays fall off or get cracked though.

Speak to someone or a firm that does 3D printing, they'll reproduce it exactly. If a few on here fancy a new one or just one at all maybe a multi ordered attack might cover the cost? Maybe??
Ben Powell the 3-D print guru .. where are you? ;D
Would need a CAD file though .. also not sure if it's too large for our printer at work.

I brought my own 500K0 tool tray into work and Ben (Ben Powell.. member here) confirms that our work 3-D printer is big enough, so he's going to attempt to come up with a CAD file and then have a go at printing one in ABS.. over to you then Ben ;D ;D

Good timing for this, I have just this morning had CAD software put back on my laptop, which means I can do some drawing at home again ;D
I'll make a start on drawing it up tonight but don't have much time, but should have some free time over the weekend. Once I've created the CAD file I'll be able to have a go at printing it.
I've also just started looking at methods to improve the surface finish / strength of 3D printed parts to closer match the injection moulded smooth glossy finish (but only had a couple attempts so far).
I'll post updates on this thread

I had some time tonight and I have drawn up the tool tray, still some small details to add but the tricky bits are done.
I will print off some 1:1 scale drawings to check the angles match and the shape is correct, hard to get exact measurements with thin moulded parts as they distort slightly.
If anyone is seriously interested in one of these 3D printed can you let me know, I won't spend to much more time on it if not. I'll need to add the finished file into the 3D print software to find out material usage and time to print etc.
Some images of the CAD model so far

May be worth sharing on the CB500 four F.B, group https://www.facebook.com/groups/40322702454
The part no. you are recreating is 83501-323-020

I possibly might although Im not sure until crimbo when I've the heap on the ramp and start to take it to bits. What sort of money will you be asking for one or are you not too sure yet?
Is that for your F model ...I don't think the F's had that part.

Don't know if you have interest in copying it in detail, but know that 83501-323-020 originally had a small 'enclave' to accomodate spare fuses.And of course the separate bit that holds the mesh over the oval cutout will also add to the work. 83502-323-000
The tray looks awkward to print as there are bits above and below the tray. Presume it will need support pieces. Took a look at it here and decided against it.

Pf course, disreguard that last coment then ;D ;D ;D
Blonde moment :o

Someone was already printing those Seabeowner, can't remember who now though.
I think Richard on here (RGP750) was casting them Ken not printing .. could be wrong though :-[

It will be a bit tricky without a doubt and certainly will need some support material, having said that I’ve done some awkward stuff for work so I’m willing to have a go at it. I have the separate part which holds the mesh on but will finalise it once I’ve got a tray printed, so I can make sure it is a good fit.

I'd be interested Ben£80 is a bit much for me as mine is good just not perfect. Can see how they would command £80 though

Listings of them are now few and far between though and this is all I can really find that sold recently.

Let's just see how Ben's stirling efforts pan out quality/ fitting wise and take it from there.

I sold a few earlier this year and some last year, good used OEM ones for about £35 for just the tray and about £45 with the separate bit that holds the mesh, with new mesh fitted. Yes, people will buy them but its a very, very limited market.
Well the market must have changed in the last few years Julie 'cos the three I sold in succession (I got them in a job lot from Japan in nice condition) sold like the proverbial sh*t off a shovel .. all at £35 each ;D
DK and other importers tend to nick 'em along with grab rails to sell separately IMHO when they sell their 'barn find projects'
