Pivot Brake Diameter?

Can anyone on here help me find the diameter of pivot brakes? I have a pair of 12's and the plastic end cap broke off of the metal piece of the brake so I figured I'd try to 3D print one. Couldn't find any designs/dimensions online. Thx

3D printing binding parts seems like a deathwish to me

3D printed little plastic bits - Im in - do we need to make an NS 3d print repository in thingiverse?

I made ski pole baskets once - they fell apart very quickly.

Use calipers. If you don’t have one, get one. They make life easier if you are using 3d printers to fix your stuff. I would suggest any digital one.

Just use some of the JB Weld putty to form a glob over the metal brake end, then shape it with some popsicle sticks. Refine it with a dremel if you want.
