	I had an idea of a replacement for a rubber eyecup on a Merit Eye Disc that would be printed using a flexible 3D printing filament. Looks like there are some that result in a rubber like product Jack

	I know a guy who's into 3D printing and has a variety of equipment. Do you have a .STL file or other the printer instructions file?

	No. Do you? I will do some sleuthing and see if I can get one generated. I will remove one of the split ones and do some measurements. I will get back to you but don’t hold your breath. Thanks Jack

	It might be easier to buy a new rubber eye shield directly from them at : (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links); Their email is email@meritcorporation.com

Pretty sure they are no longer in business…..

	I sent an email a few months back and never got a reply. Hard to search the net. Keep getting links to sanding discs.

	I had trouble with the link slso. I believe the link below will take you the the Merit site. (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links)

	Good find. I sent an email a couple of days back. No reply yet. I ripped of the flared portion of the light shield leaving the outside and rear portions still covered by the neoprene. I am thinking about machining an aluminum piece to slip over the body with a light shield flare and coating it with black rubber spray.
