I do want to make a new rubber base still, the current one is usable but not very aesthetically pleasing. Also is there any source for a removable drop tray?

I am using the removable drip tray from the current Europiccola version. They're inexpensive and save you the hassle of renewing the paint underneath all too soon. The metal drip grate fits well in it. The drip tray is a little wiggly in the base, so I'm thinking of gluing some rubber under the drip tray lip to stabilize it. I tried to create a new rubber base with a bottom and that didn't work well. It looked like a rough edge. So, I just used new rubber edge molding. Francesco Ceccarelli discusses those two options in the DIY section of his site.
