A second EICO 150, Part 2: A new trim ring.

The trim ring on this EICO 150 was a complete mess. It started shattering in transit, and didn’t survive much longer on the bench. Here’s what it looked like:
A friend modeled a new ring for me, and we printed some examples. I chose a couple of material colors - gunmetal gray and silver. This unit is going to get the gray ring, and it looks pretty good.
The new ring is a solid piece. For screws, I discarded the original screws and went with a short, course-thread piercing screw. That seemed to work better, and the material definitely requires the course threads.
That’s one issue taken care of, next part will be jumping into the electronics themselves.
