Trying to find similar in the UK: anyone any idea if anyone sells them - other

Looks like the perfect job for a 3D printer. ;-)

I bet it would cost more than the battery


I bet it would cost less than the 12p each. ;-)

But I guess it depends on how you factor such things. eg. Do you
amortise the price of the kitchen and all the appliances you use when
you cook a meal?

I wouldn't have bought (built) the printer to print a PP3 cap but
could (easily since Mark provided the dimensions g) and do so
cheaply now I have. Filament is roughly £15 quid / kg and the
electricity wouldn't run to much for something that small.
