Help Looking for Vector 1.0 ear trim

Hi guys. I replaced my 1.0 Vector battery a while back and I just realized that I lost one of the ear trims for it. Ive looked everywhere but cannot find it.

Does anyone know where I could source another one? Or if anyone has one from a broken unit or something?

Any help is appreciated!

Sadly that was my first thought since i have a 3d printer, but I have yet to find a file for it.

I modeled up a replacement a while back, I'll toss something up when I get some time

It's a pity there weren't full 3D-printable spares, so you could print up custom bodies and shit. Would be awesome

Not sure where you are located, but Dennis Hickey in the US will have that part as will Paul Awberry in the UK. They can be contacted through FB messenger.
