In my book I would have given up allready.

It isn't quite as simple as that. We have invested money in molds that we do not wish to throw away. We may or may not be able to use these molds with another caster. Not only that, but specialty casters are rather hard to come by, so we've had to put up with these delays. I tried not to make any outright gueses as to availability but rather pass along the (seemingly) empty promises of the caster himself. Like I said he's out of here by the 16th if he doesn't make something useful by then.

Nevertheless, go ahead and see what you can come up with. You speak of shells, but from my experience a "shell" of a button will not diffuse the light properly, or at least not in a pleasing manner. Can you have them made as a solid piece with only a hole for the shaft and LEDs?
