RHeller1 Posted June 5, 2022 Report Share Posted June 5, 2022 Looking for a battery cover for an older Marquis/Balboa remote. Remote looks like the one attached. Please let me know if you have one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratchett Posted June 13, 2022 Report Share Posted June 13, 2022 I mean, if you can't find the part, there's always the option to try and get a 3D printed part. Some industrial 3D printers can print nylon or polymide which would look great and should hold up pretty well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RHeller1 Posted June 14, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2022 great idea! now I need to find someone that has those capabilities. Thank you for that idea as my search is coming up dry. This might be my only option! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratchett Posted June 14, 2022 Report Share Posted June 14, 2022 Send me a private message with some photos (if you have a ruler in the photos, even better). I have been working in the 3D printer industry for over a decade - I might be able to help (no guarantees lol) - but if that's your only option, I can get creative lol. Still concerned about the materials and lifespan - but once we have the model, it's not hard to print a fresh copy if necessary (or print a few spares at the same time so you have backups) - although I still expect you could get a few years out of a single nylon or polymide part, especially without direct exposure to the water Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
