Description: These are a set of four replacement feet for the Corona 3 typewriter from about 100 years ago. These amazing little machines typically still work great today, except the original rubber feet are long reduced to mushy gum. I designed these to be nearly an identical replacement, but with the advantages of modern 3D printing technology we can engineer materials that were previously impossible. These are printed in a softer TPE synthetic rubber which has great grip, and a natural matte finish that looks just like the original rubber used in the past. Like natural rubber, synthetic rubber is nearly indestructible (but a knife or scissors will cut it, just like rubber!), flexible, and very gripping on most surfaces. For the original glossy finish with NinjaFlex synthetic rubber with ultimate table grip, please see my other listing here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/174709052038. NinjaFlex is really the ultimate material for replacement typewriter feet--strong, flexible, super grippy, and with a gorgeous gloss that really complements the glossy-painted machines--but some people prefer the original dull look of natural rubber, and have requested it. Today, we should abandon natural rubber due to it's many inferior technical qualities. I finally found a suitable TPE alternative in natural finish (this listing), which looks just like natural rubber. While a little less grippy, it still works great, looks great, and costs much less than Ninjaflex, so now I can offer a much better price here! Note, this auction is just for Typewriter Feet, and is related to my other auctions below (in original NinjaFlex):Full Kit: https://www.ebay.com/itm/174799840230Spool Nuts (Amazing Working Rubber Design): https://www.ebay.com/itm/174715233337Case Inside Feet/Rubber/Pads: https://www.ebay.com/itm/175808971517 I plan to offer all of the above in the less expensive matte finish soon. Please ignore other's false marketing claims that 3D printed feet have no grip, or that their feet are more "professional", or misuse terms like "shore hardness". Look at my reviews, these are beautiful and amazing typewriter feet being bought by collectors and dealers alike, I'm regularly told my feet are the best. I designed these for my own typewriter as shown, and this is an experiment to see if it's worth my time to make some more for the community. PS: Ebay's volume discount display is a bit confusing, each purchase is a SET OF FOUR feet, so picking "1" is one set of 4; "2" is 2 sets of 4 (8), etc.
