Better Brake Bumper for Thrustmaster T3PA Load Cell Brake Mod

Elastic bumper for Thrustmaster T3PA Load Cell Brake Mod After making the Thrustmaster T3PA Load Cell Brake Mod and installing it, I was on the lookout for a good bumper to give the brakes the right feel - Not too soft, not too hard, and with a progressive rate. After trying a number of things that either didn't work, or didn't last under the constant abuse that a part like this takes, I determined to make a custom bumper on the 3D printer. The bumper is mounted to the load cell using an Allen head bolt that is slipped inside the bumper. Getting the Allen bolt into the print takes a bit of pre-stretching the hole at the pointy end with needle-nose pliers and some lubrication of the bolt head (spit on it), other than that, installation is super simple. I've included the .STL for printing as-is, as well as Fusion 360 and STEP files if you want to modify it. Original Load Cell Brake project https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3366188
