I agree for some things Shapeways makes no sense. Replacement side body clips are $54 for a set of 8 or so! However, if the part is small, it can be inexpensive. There is also a huge discrepancy in quality on what I can do on my printer vs. what their industrial printers can do. Although I'm not sure the reinforcement is what you are looking for, but it only costs $5.
