Base for Rigel Quikfinder, 3D printed maybe?

If anybody has a spare base for a Rigel Quikfinder I'd be grateful!
Or maybe somebody has the means to 3D print one?
I could get one from Scopestuff.com like the attached picture,
but US$27 plus US postage motivates me to fabricate one myself!

Thank you Col!

I've actually got something going with this request...
I contacted julianH72 who contributed to a thread a while back about 3D printing.
Together we found the plans and 3D SLT file for a Quikfinder base that also features the Orion/Vixen adapter, on a website called Thingiverse.
Julian tells me it's very popular with 3D printers.
Anyway, Julian has the SLT file and is going to check it out tonight.

Thanks again, Chris

All good indeed, thanks to julianh72, the 3D printed base will be in the mail shortly!
Makes me think a 3D printer might be an interesting investment!
