<div>Hi Ian,</div><div>I am stuck on plastic for weight, but I am probably over thinking that. It is, after all, such a tiny part. I never thought of Amazon, I will check that out. Thank you for the offer to print them, I had no idea that such a fine part could be printed. </div><div>Hank</div><div><br></div>
