Afraid not, I spent a lot of time and money creating the adapter from scratch. I'd be silly to just give it away!

I'll get a few made up and will get them posted online for sale

Have you thought about getting these machined instead of petg?

I think people (including me) would pay for a decent metal/alloy version instead of a plastic equivalent.

Yes, I'd love to get a batch of metal ones done if the interest is actually there.

I don't want to buy a batch of metal ones and be stuck with a load of them

I'd be happy to purchase a metal one.

I'm not sure I'd really buy a plastic one though as I'd only use it as a template.

Before finding this post I'd just thought about using a high-res pic of an original part and scaling the image down to the two known centre dimensions, printing it as a template using it to cut my own manually. (Ali/carbon sheet)

Alternatively, I could get it machined from my template...but as you say it really needs enough interest/volume to cover the cost.

How many & what cost would it need for you to break even ? 10,20 ?...do we have enough interest here now?

I think you mentioned previously BETD want an order of 50 for them to produce it again.

PETG has been fine for me during testing. Really strong and durable.

I could have a look at getting some printed in a harder material. There doesn't seem to be enough interest to make it worthwhile

UPDATE - I've put a quote request in to several Metal CNC providers and i am awaiting the results.

Could you share me the stl file? I wouldn't trust a plastic one but I could print one myself and take it to a local metal shop as a template. Or do you already have metal ones?

I'm not able to share my STL file unfortunately. I still have some PETG ones for sale if you would like to purchase? They're tried and tested by my ebay buyers!

But you got stl for it? I could pay you the same amount that you're asking for the ready piece in ebay (without shipping) for the stl, just seems unnecessary to ship a piece of plastic to other country when I could print one myself, especially when It's only gonna be a template
