Additive manufacturing is a real nice technology and it represents very much the final product. Do you know what caused the smear type effect on the surface? It was so strange because I didn't see it anywhere else on the watch case, it just started from the inner contour and abruptly ended at the

Dieter, I need ZB13 (ZB15?) sockets, but are afraid of using those fixed contacts as you use them. My fear is they give too much mechanical tension to the glass-metal sealings, especially because it concerns hydrogen filled tubes. I am thinking now to ask someone with a CNC machine to make some
