So I am going to start making Typewriter Feet...
Yep. Within this week or so, I am going to try making typewriter feet. The feet on my blickensderfer and a few other machines have compltley disinigrated, and I dont feel like paying $40 for new ones, so Im making them myself.
If you would like me to make you some for your typewriter, or expiriment on them, I will need you to send me one of the feet if they are all the same, or more if they are different.
Ill let you know how they turn out. If they turn out good, Im going to start selling them for like $10 for all 4. Maybe even other rubber parts.

Good luck, and please tell us how they turn out. I need new feet for my Royal Portable for the past year now, so depending how it well it goes, I might have to ask you how you did it. 
A high schooler with a lot of typewriters. That's pretty much about it.

I will gladly do it for you! I can make them for you as long as I have the basic shape of the feet though. I just need one.

So far finished the mold for my Blicks feet. Will hopefully start casting the feet tomorrow.

Finally finished! Will post photos soon...
They aren't the best looking, but the parts that show look pretty good, and as long as they are functional, they will work. It was my first attempt, and I think I know why they came out bad.

Anyways, They did come out successful. They are softer than normal rubber though. May be because of the style feet I was making, but don't know. So if you would like me to make you new feet, just tell me.

3d printed a mold for making Corona 4 typewriter feet. They might work with other models too. Currently, the ru - AHEM secret formula is drying...

Are you thinking about doing different colors? I wouldn't mind having some neon green feet that GLOW IN THE DARK!

Well, I CAN do different colors, but since green isn't really a standard color, I don't have it. The glow in the dark thing you can do right now though to your typewriter feet, just buy some glow in the dark paint.
