Okay.  This is my latest iteration.  What do you think of these? These are black  CF-Nylon with an off-white paint then laser-engraved.

I finally have lots more Klixon switch covers!  I have all the usual letterings, and I can still make custom covers.  I have decided to simplify things and charge $10/each, including shipping.  Please

I do have a few covers, and I will get back to everybody.  When my computer crashed, it took the CAD files with it.  I still have some of the files, but I have to verify if one is the latest/greatest.

I will probably get back to the Maker Space with the laser engraver in January/February, so I can finish them then.

Please have patience with the process.

Good news and bad news...

I just took my written test to get my CFI-I; got a 100%!  So now I am ready to start shipping switch covers.

The bad news is that the Innovation Studio, (MakerSpace by another name), is closed for at least two weeks, so I cannot make anything customized until they reopen.  (Stupid virus.)

I think I have responded to everyone who PMed me before.  If I missed you, I apologize.

@AH-1 Cobra Pilot are your cad / stl files open source by any chance? I’m interested in trying out some different filament I have laying around. 

No.  I spent LOTS of time and effort to create the CAD.  (Just go back a few pages in this thread to see.)

As far as filaments go, PLA will get soft in a hot summer airplane, nylon does not take paint well, nor does PETG and a few others, so ABS is the winner.

Thanks for the info.  The reason I asked is because the set I got lasted maybe 5 pushes before they started splitting down the middle, so I put my old busted OEM ones back on. Probably was a temp / annealing issue with that batch.  I have had really good luck with prusament ASA and it off gasses a lot less.
