Hi again Ben-

Looks like you already had the "rounding" dialed in on those outer ribs, my mistake. Height was the only issue.

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!
