Brad,
I am certainly willing to make the 3D printed parts available to interested Navlisters as on demand sales or by other means but the a couple of things need to be borne in mind
- The pieces are currently sized to fit the tubes supplied by Wolfgang Hasper http://fer3.com/arc/m2.aspx/Borrowed-Bygrave-Hasper-jan-2016-g34233
- Some pieces such as the knob and octagonal top have internal recesses to hold imperial sized nylon collars which support the shaft for the locking mechanism.
Adjustments would need to be made for different tube sizes or metric inserts. It is a simple matter make such adjustments as needed in the openSCAD source code,
Regards,
Robin
