Subject: Re: [newmellotrongroup] 3d printed M400 power cap

Hi Ben-

    Your draft looks pretty darn good!  I agree with David, the outer ribs run all the way from the bottom flange to just below the top edge.  The sides & tops of the ribs are rounded, if possible.

    The crack I noticed was isolated to the middle of the cover body, across the area where the tension ring locates, and may have been there already. Thanks for the offer of a cap, though!

The description of the cap Mr. Leete describes would be a "bayonet" mount (similar to BNC connectors and many automotive light applications). This makes me wonder if there were production variations in the switch/cap combo, and might be worth researching.

It is amazing your printer is capable of reproducing something this small with accuracy. I look forward to the results.

       Please read "less than 1mm from top
of the cap", just to be clear!
