Yes, I have several. And I have a scanner. But I won't scan them for you
until you have either shown us that you can do a good job on at least one
other part first, or, alternatively, if you agree to focus on this part
until you get it right, I think this would be a good 2D exercise for you,
and I would scan it for you.

I am reminded of my cat, who has taught me that if I ask him to roll over
and he rolls over, he will get food.
You are teaching us that if you take a casual approach to quality, we will
spend our time fixing your mistakes. Mistakes that you could easily have
noticed, diagnosed, and fixed yourself if you worked from real parts.
Tsk, tsk.

Do you mean that you knew how to place a circle there, and you knew that
the real element used a circle, but that you chose to approximate the circle
using a square because LDraw renders small squares more nicely than it
renders small circles?
Even with squares in place of circles, you can still do better (more
accurate) with the placement of the squares.
I think the horizontal bars you used to represent the text are a good
approximation, except that the bars don't match the horizontal character
positions (they look like they were randomly conceived or drawn from
memory).
