Re: Replacement Device for 1581?

That would be a very worthwhile project.  And, should the shells start to
run out, someone could design either a 3D-printable or CNC-able set of
drawings, so that we could make more.

I have a CNC, but no great design ability.  If there was interest, though,
I might be willing to try to clone the case.
