So it looks like he made a little cap over the

print. If you can get me dimensions I can print you a few.
Yep that's what I did:

inspiring myself from Rick's drawing (thanks Rick). It's a very small part
though, not sure if you can print something that small accurately unless you
have a professional printer.
I've printed instrument needles that are 1.5mm wide and .5mm thick.
The thinnest layer height I've printed with is 50 micron. That took 2.5
hours to print a 25mm square cube. :)
The cap I made was 6mm high, 9.6mm in diameter, with a
cavity 3mm deep of
6.30mm diameter at the bottom for the capstan to go in. It required me to
reduce the original capstan diameter to the 6.30mm so it could fit in the
cavity though. That's what I was trying to avoid with my two alternate
proposals (for people that don't have a lathe...)
That's actually a fairly good sized part.
Speaking of which
I want his lathe. :)
Mwahahaha. Nooooo.
It's all miiiiine. Sadly they don't make them anymore, I
got one of the last ones.
What I need to do is get off my butt and get a 4th axis (rotary) added to
my ShopBot. :)
