This is probably old news to many, but it is my first printed EP cap and I am easily excited. :)

My used Pentax XW 3.5mm came without top dust cap. In the past I would search various sites for the replacement, which would probably be ~$10 with shipping. Now, my kids are old enough to finally be useful. :D So, I approached my son. He took some measurements and two hours later came back with fabricated cap. It fits perfectly, and yellow color makes it harder to lose at night. Black cap in the pics is the original.

That's pretty cool, those machines are amazing, I once worked for a company that made replacement human teeth with them.
