    Water Valve Cover ready for production...

    I have the first 3D printed water valve cover almost complete and should be ready to ship on Wednesday.
    Would the forum member that PM'ed me for one please re-PM me so that I can arrange shipping and payment.
    I will be producing these on-demand.
    Refer to the post below.

    Thanks, Bill.
    First production piece was shipped Friday.
    I will complete a second one this week and have available for immediate shipment.
    Thanks. Bill

    I just received mine from Bill -- very nice. See pictures below. It's definitely sturdier than the original, fits perfectly, and unlike the original -- YOU CAN TAKE IT OFF WITHOUT BREAKING IT! Woo-hoo. I bought this to replace a broken one, but I'll probably get another for my other 8, even though that one's not broken.

    I might do a little more finishing on the outer surface (what else have I got to do, since it's put away for the winter), but I'm very happy with this.

    Thanks Mike. Glad it worked well for you.
    I have improved the surface finish on the second unit as I knew it could use a bit more finer finish.
    Second one is completed today and bagged for the next order.
