Well, if anyone wants to try it, I got it set up on Shapeways:

https://www.shapeways.com/product/LHS7Q6FNH/merchandle9

Cost went up a little bit over the years. This is the same material I had it made in originally, their rendering is just really dark for some reason. It's been several years since I worked on it but I'm pretty sure I had fixed the hole size (this is the 9th revision). If not, use a drill bit you don't care about or use a sharpener on it. The only thing that's fiddly is taking the shaft apart, not losing the pieces, and then doing something to the end to keep it together. I think I was going to tap it for a screw but ended up peening the end over as it had enough material to do that. But there are several ways you could accomplish that task.

Originally I was going to have a bunch made, then do an exchange program basically. You send me your broken one, I send you a fixed one and fix the broken one for the next person. There would have to be a lot of people interested in that though. But if anyone wanted to do that you have my blessing.
