Replacement Rubber Feet

[RWAP]

As most of you will know, I already stock the rectangular solid rubber feet for the base of the rubber key ZX Spectrum, ZX81, ZX Power Supply and ZX Printer. Incidentally, these feet will also fit the bottom of the drop down legs on the Spectrum+

I was wondering about some of the round rubber feet - there are two types

a) Type with centre hole - these fit the Spectrum+ and the QL
b) Type with a Solid plug which fit the Spectrum +2, +2A, +2B and +3

I got a qick quote on these, but due to the costs of the mould (£390 for type A and £330 for type B), it would mean that the feet would have to be sold at £4 each to get any chance of a return on the investment (based on 400 of each type being made !)

Is there any interest in this - or maybe alternative markets too?

Heh, this is one of those jobs that's ideal for 3D printing with a rubber filament. When I was experimenting with ninjaflex for the ZX printer belts, I thought it would be ideal for feet.

However, there's such a wide range of rubber stick on feet that work just as well, it make me wonder if it's a worthwhile expense just to be authentic.

On some machines I've used those big felt pads that pound shops sell for ornaments

Almost all my +2/+2A/+3 machines are missing feet so I would want a few.
