Hi,
I have a small request. I can work well with POV-Ray and its numeric
coordinate system, but I find it difficult to work with WYSIWYG editors
and thus with other render software.
I am in need of a plastic part for my meat grinder (a part that allows
me to create my own sausages). I can easily create this part in POV-Ray,
but not in any other software. But I need it as a 3DS or even better as
a STL file format, in order to have someone 3D printing it for me.
My idea is that I would create that part in POV-Ray (it is a very simple
shape), and in the correct dimensions, and someone here hopefully would
be able to re-create that part in an other renderer.
Is that okay? Is here anyone who could do me this favor?
The shape is a combination of a ring (hollow), an hollow cone, and an
hollow cylinder. In my next posting here I am adding the source code. It
would be nice, if anyone could assist me. Thanks.

Here are the exact measures of the item. If you can 3D print it (white
ABS plastic, otherwise silver), too, please let me know. I would use
PayPal to compensate you for your expenses (material and shipping to
Jamaica, inside a regular envelope with protective bubble foil or foam).
Item dimensions:
total length: 7 cm
total diameter: 6 cm (bottom ring)
angle of torus: 90°
upper ring surface exceeding torus: 0.3 cm (3 mm)
important - upper cylinder edge is rounded (torus)
torus total height: 1 cm
torus total height above ring: 0.6 cm (6 mm)
ring height: 0.4 cm (4 mm)

// If you do the 3D printing, please print in white ABS plastic
(otherwise silver). Thanks.
