If 11/70 actuators were to be made, I would probably

but I'm unconvinced that at present prices, it's economical to make a
hobbyist run of them. Perhaps in the medium-term future, should
fab-at-home-type hardware continue to drop in price, the equation will
look more favorable, but right now, I don't think it is.
About ten years ago, a friend of mine found a private individual
selling copies of the weird proprietary data connector used on many
Garmin GPS receivers. He was a hobbyist who had a small injection
molding machine in his house. I have several of the connectors he
made; they are of excellent quality.
I wonder if we could find him.
