Bumper Rings for Retra Strobes

I was able to borrow a Retra strobe and was able to make a few mods for it including a set of Reduction & Macro Rings and these Bumper Rings.

The Retra aluminum body gets scratched and dinged up pretty easily and really need some protection. These rubber Bumpers will do a great job of protecting the strobe and keeping them looking new. Just slip them over the front and back and go diving with confidence. Extra credit for cool colors other than black!

I know a number of people who have made their own bumpers for Retras, but I was not able to find a single model online at the various 3D print sharing sites. (MakerWorld, Thingiverse, Printables)

I wanted to make a design freely available for anyone to find and print for themselves.

OK I understand this point but make the same as Retra... I find that is not so good for Retra. They need some incomes and publishing such stuff for free is for me not how I see the thing.
Make some new creation of something Retra didn't have is ok.

It is my opinion.. sorry .

I publish some post with what I build to give idea to other... and if someone ask for the SSTL no problem.

It's a little contradictory. You have the skills to make your own DIY solution and do so, but also object to making it easier for others to do what you did.

Only a little contradictory then I didn't publish on 3D printing sites.

For me puting a copy of original part on such sites is not ok.. I'll never do that.
Some person also try to make money with that.

We have not the same vision of the DIY...

I stop here... I've need to go to work, ;)
