I suppose I could mess around with a dremel till I got it right.
Carving something this intricate by hand is a real feat. I wouldn’t advise that. Someone has machined one on a milking machine by hand and I think that’s really impressive. I don’t have the attention span for that even though I’ve got the equipment. Luckily the 3d printing is pretty cheap for small parts.

Well, I couldn't leave well enough alone. I made a 3d model of the cage from the broken one I had and had it 3d printed in a steel/bronze alloy.

It's rough and came out a bit undersize, so I had to do some dremeling. But it works!

SWEEEET! Would you mind taking a look at this thread: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=89444&p=1514417&hil ... e#p1514417 I'm interested in doing the same thing except with lost resin casting.
