I'm working on building a replica of the German Enigma Machine and I'm looking for something that resemble Bakelite, preferable something that can be poured into a mold it needs to resist heat as well and Bakelite so I can solder brass contacts that pressed or molded into it more more importantly it needs to look like Bakelite, I've looked into Garolite but the paper or fabric that's embedded in it shows through when machined.
Also the stippling in the part in the attached image where would I find metal sheet like that? why is it there.
Attached is a picture of a Enigma Rotor with the brass pins in the Bakelite and on the thumb wheel as well and the stippled metal ring.
Your help is greatly appreciated
