Possible group order for replacement rubber feet for the Jornada 720

I'm currently pondering about ordering custom cut replacement rubber feet for the Jornada 720, after getting out all the gross black goo from one of my battery packs.

First question: Does anyone here have the means to cut 2mm black rubber sheeting?

If not, I'm considering ordering a whole sheet of cut rubber feet from a prototyping company that offers laser cutting services!

Would other people be interested in getting some to split the costs?

I remember just filling the foot area with black silicone rubber sealant to the point it made a raised puddle/bubble and then let it dry before sitting it upright.

I found a rubber feet intended for laptops for 100JPY, less than one USD. It had 10 in them. It was in a local dollar shop.

But a custom one will be nice. Not sure if I need it though.

They have dollar shops in Japan?

Yep, aka 100yen shops.

Daiso is a famous one, with several other names.

That is so much simpler than what I came up with! I'll see if i find an easy way to cut them, otherwise I'll just use black kitchen-grade sealant!

Karpour,

In practice, what are the prototyping costs going to be and how many feet do you anticipate getting from a sheet?

If I were going to use rubber sheeting for the feet...I would probably turn some round tubing into an oval and just make a punch I could whack with a hammer ..

I can try print them in TPU - can you send me a stl?
I think this would be the cheaper alternative ... A 1kg roll of TPU is around 20-30€

Here's the SCAD and STL file

I made everything scaled to 0.97 for tolerance, not sure how much would be reasonable for 3D printing!

I am in if there is a group order

Me too

Hello!
I had to draw my own ones - since the one from Karpour did not fit well. At least printed on my 3D printer.

If anybody wants a pair of these: Please send me a message. You can pay me whatever you like + the shipping fee. EU should be around 3€ - outside EU around 5€. They will come with adhesive tape applied.

For the folks with their own 3D printer - here is the .stl file.
