  I have pondered such a plan. The unfortunate aspect of my 3d printing is accuracy. Not so great. So if I print something that works, I am almost guaranteed that the dimensions are not what was drawn. My purpose, even if inaccurate, was just to get a feel for the fit. I will look in to these service providers, though. Bear in mind, however, that part of the joy (if not all of it) is solving this myself. Otherwise, I just go mow the lawn or split wood or some other mundane task.

  I hardly have any of myself in the last few decades, though I do have my old passports etc. (with gradually degrading image quality; especially the last barely recognisable one, done in the Post Office dedicated licence & passport booth). Left to right, 1986 (at 30), 1997, 2007, 2018. Once the hair went, I've not really changed. My profile image is from 2001.

  You could get one 3D printed in stainless or titanium? Add the rest of the original detail to your existing model and proof check it comes out OK in plastic, then have it done by JLC, Shapeways etc. Not cheap, but you could get a lot closer the original appearance?
