Just for clarification, the one on the left is the original part and the
one on the right is the 3D printed part.

Duct tape is like the force.....
It has a light side and a dark side and

I had some time this weekend and borrowed a cover from a friends coach and
created a 3D drawing of it. Below is the link. I have some durability
testing to do on this part, but should be able to add them to my online
store in December or January.

I DID print Dan's design and either there are two sizes of these things or
my software did not scale them properly, as his design is MUCH bigger than
mine

Nice job! I imagine we ran into some scaling issues, I do not think there are more then one size.
