One thing that intrigues me is the end-on photo IMG_3161. It appears

It's not tapered; it just looks that way because I'm not holding it very
straight in the photo. I've

Pete: also teriffic photos, thanks as well! Nice measurements
especially the letter heights.
Thanks, you're welcome.
A common method of
determining radii is to use an engineers radius guage.
Which is what I did :-)

PS: To clarify (if needed) what I mean by 'the flange': orient the piece as
it would be if it were on the H960 (i.e. with the little interior tabs at the
top, and the coloured panel on the front); the 'flange' runs down one side,
along the bottom, and up the other side: it's a continuous piece,

z = about 0.5mm - you're trying to measure the taper on the edge of
the flange? Not easy to be accurate.
Ah, I've just realized I made a mistake in a previous message.
I thought 'z' was calling for the distance between the inner edge of what I'm

I've adjusted the drawing based upon some of the measurements provided, so far.
However I'm not sure I interpret Pete's measurement of 33.1mm
from the back of the flange to the front of the box, correctly. Noel also says
the same 'from the back of the flange' so I must be missing
something here.

That would be great! (I'd buy one! Or more!) But how are you going to produce
the plastic housing? I suspect that's going to be harder than the inset
coloured panel.
I need some help from the list, if

No one can see it, just use painted wood or something that holds it in

There does seem to be some variation between reported dimensions, so
