If the part were modified appropriately in the corect area prior to pulling the mold would that work? What would an appropriate material to build up the correct area before sending it to you?
It would depend on how beefy it was. If an aluminum housing was made as thin as I suspect the plastic one is, it would probably be damaged just as easy.
@Philip Maybe it's time for a new section for discussion of sourcing parts and manufacturing replacements, what to do about batteries, etc.
My proposal is to call it DAMN! "Distributed Alta Manufacturing Network" 😂
