[GreenKeys] Model 33 printer heads

I would propose checking with a machinist for a quote. There are cnc
configurations that are used to do rotational engraving that may be perfect
for this. 4 axis vs 5 axis machining are also very different in price up
front and per unit.

As far as casting goes, finding someone to quote an exact casting in jb
weld or a similar material will be exceedingly challenging. Most other
materials can not handle the force of the repeated hammer strikes.

The other option is to use the flat shape on thingiverse and machine it
with a standard 3 axis cnc machine, then create a cylinder by welding the
ends together around a machined cylinder of solid steel. You would likely
need to heat the band and cool the cylinder to get a precise fit, but a
process like that was likely what teletype did based on my observations.
