Anyone have parts? or know where to find them? I know... ahhahahahahahhah. But thought it wouldn't hurt to ask. The grill has been used as a jack stand for a 1985 Mits Delica. I'm thinking about 3D printing a punch or die or both and pressing it to get the dents out, but what do you all think?
 
How bad is the damage? Can you post pics?

I have straightened and reshaped many mics grills and bodies, and the technique involved is the same than old school car body repair: some kind of lever and a hamer, both of appropriate shape.
Forget about 3D printing as your punch/die would end up being softer than your dented grill.

Actually, 3d printed punches and dies work amazing. No joke. Google it. Watch Youtube videos.
 
I googled and watched as per your suggestion. Some vidéos are indeed quite impressive, but I still think that bending a flat metal sheet, and removing sharp dents are two different jobs...
By any means, if you have the tools, do try it, and please share the results!

In the mean time I will continue to use hamers to fix dented microphone parts, as it's cheap, easy, and fast ;)
