TELEDYNE Big Beam vintage flashlight switch cover mold

Last crawled date: 4 years, 3 months ago

Description:
This is molds for making silicone cover for the switch of TELEDYNE Big Beam series vintage flashlight.
Big Beam flashlights have been manufactured half a century ago may be and are heavy duty, but their weatherproof rubber switch covers are much damaged today. And the cover doesn't seem to be sold at now.
I designed a mold to make a replica of the switch cover with RTV silicone sealant.
This will keep you using it for the next half a century!
OpenSCAD source is included. You can fully customizable it, if you want.
