quarter MOA visionary

| I would be surprised if Bondo has the tensile strength to hold up without any reinforcement. I like the idea of making a mold but I would use something like resin and fiberglass or a hard rubber product. I have used it to fill in and form on many parts such as interior but never on a complete fill in a mold. .02 |

Why go to the effort to scan, load and print such an object with comparatively expensive equipment and your invested time/skills/experience when you can mix up some mud (Bondo), press it into a cup and have a finished product? The Bondo involves Elementary school, second grade skills and you get good quality results. Why the high tech effort? The OP did it right the first time.
Once you do the "elementary" part, then scanning it into a 3d file for production should be kids play for someone in the bay area, where tech abounds. Once you have the 3D file then getting it printed would be easy. |

Amazon still sells cassettes. I actually only have one. |

Aha, now I see. I'm sorry for your loss. He left you a treasure, for sure.
