Hi all We’ll decided over the weekend to have a look to see how easy it is to recreate the horn cover on the printer in black ABS and here is the results of my first try It’s not an exact replica (The back just a square hollow to get the view from the front right) But the front is pretty close, as like the battery strap it needs to be a shape that is easier to print than the original design I have sent one out to a forum member for review and will await his thoughts🙂🙂 Like with all printed parts that tend to have some lines due to the printing process but as it is in ABS this can be solved with a rub down with some fine grade wet and dry and then a spray over in a satin black paint Think as they need some finishing is involved cost will be about be about £14 including post which is I think reasonable So the magic question is would would be interested in a horn cover like this? In the meantime if anybody has any questions about the part please feel welcome to ask Catch up soon Best wishes Al

Nice work Al.
I was doing some digging online last week here as the weather was crap (its winter) and turned up a NOS one of these. Happy Days (only for me I guess) but I was amazed when i ran the part number and realised what it was as these have been NLA so long. Sadly not cheap, but what is these days.
Anyway, great stuff. What's next on the 'print list'?
