So...Probably figured it was time for an update on this. The guy that I gave the original piece to do make some 3D printed caps has totally flaked out on me, and will not return my calls or texts at all. I have a possible address for him. TBH, I'm debating pursuing it further or not. Thankfully, I'm not out any money, but he's still holding on to the original I gave him to scan. I have one other cap, but it's not in as good condition as the one I gave him. I reached out to a local 3D scanning business, and they quoted me $150 to do a scan. From there, I could shop it out to anyone with a 3D printer to make duplicates.
That seems high to me, since the guy I talked to (the guy that flaked on me, and is still holding my piece hostage) said he made 10 sets, and would only charge me $80 total. Then again, I'm here holding the bag with nothing to show for it. Although that's a lot of money for what's arguably a non-essential piece, I'm debating biting the bullet and getting the scan done. I guess the only way it would make sense to me is if I could get a handful of them made, and sell them. Assuming I could get some good-quality dupes made, would any of you be interested in buying them for say $10-20 a set? Just trying to get an idea of the level of interest.
