First cut at it... I'm happy with it.

Does that line up with what you were after @drk5036 ?

@James79 I like it; but it's too effective, simple, and does not appear to present much of a challenge.
Hey, is that a SP109 with a home made cover? Well done!
 
Should be super easy to use that basic model you linked to, and recreate it. My only concern (that may be too strong of a word) is material choice. But ABS would probably be fine. I wouldn't use PLA, due to it's brittle-ness. Let me knock something together today, and see what happens!

As is usually the case with real world use of printed parts, the appropriate thing to do here is probably to print a blank, then make a mold off of it and pour cast the actual parts in a more applicable material

Yeah.... I still don't have it in me to get started on molds and casting. Genuininely, and with no snark, if you would like to mold and cast it just shoot me an address via pm and I can mail you a couple samples.

Yeah, that's my test mule that still has the printed Pseudo-Duro poppet in it. My 10 y.o. has a printed blue faceplate on his 109 (just because he likes blue!)
 
Double the hose back and pass the half loop through the D ring.
And make sure you carry a spare for that poor hose.
