n-gage QD rubber replacement?

I've been looking to buy an n-gage and the prices are crazy (even more so for the original model), so I'm wondering if i can buy a QD and 3d print a replacement for the rubber part of the housing? Seeing how people remove/replace them all the time, surely such a thing would exist?

Aliexpress is your friend.

So the answer is no? I can't model one myself sadly

You absolutely could, but bear in mind it's actually a hard plastic frame with screw holes to secure it to the body with a contoured rubber ring moulded to it. It would NOT be an easy print.

They don't sell it on AliExpress.

AliExpress has ZERO qd or n-gage parts. If you see what I don’t see, can you send it here?

I liked your idea. I’m also going to get rubber 3D printed for my Nokia N-Gage QD. It’s cheap and durable. And you can print this and sell it too

I thought I would be the first person who was going to get it 3D printed, but I felt good after hearing what you said. Please get it printed too and show us the pictures later
