One of my recent sudden wild enthusiasms is watches, specifically building my own watches out of separate parts I buy on eBay etc. It's tremendously satisfying at the end as you create something that's unique, but one of my projects is proving a little tricky, and it's for want of a small plastic part that I can't create on my own (at least, I can't create it in a way that doesn't look rubbish).

Basically i need a very precisely sized spacer to go between the edge of my dial and the inside lip of my watch case. It's a small ring, about 30mm outside diameter / 29mm inside diameter and about 1.0mm thick (specifics can follow) but without it I'm stuck.

If there's anyone on the forum who has a 3D printer and is able to print a couple of examples for me it would be massively appreciated, I'm happy to pay postage and cover the cost of materials and time, I will also give you more precise measurements than the above as it's no use to anyone if i get this bit wrong.

Thanks in advance
