4th attempt, & many thanks to Casamere, who allowed me to pop across to have a 'measure-up' of his covers, more CAD work, then managed to print up this latest set, & who knows, there may even be a '5th set to come!!

Nice job Modelman, even Orville & Wilbur didn't get it right first time.

Looks like your getting pretty close. Are you printing these in PLA?
I have been thinking about 3D printing these for quite a while. I got the the 3D printer for Christmas and have been learning how to use it, but I don’t have the CAD skills yet to design. A lot of compound curves going on. I was hoping to find someone to 3D scan my originals.

You could even 3D print them in wax, then do lost wax casting in aluminum.

If your interested in sharing the .stl files let me know, if not I understand that as well.
