Thanks B2L for the lead on a cerakote shop. Beautiful job. Got in the mood to finally upgrade my rig. Building a v4.2 with large screen. Going to have it black with the Hitcher's thumb in blue with the Answer of the Life, the Universe and Everything (42) stamped on the other side. Thought kind of funny since I am using the excuse that I am building it for my 42nd. I have always thought of phones with web access as Hitch Hiker's Guides, now I'll have my electronic thumb, all I need to do now is pick a towel.

"Forty-two," said Deep Thought, with infinite majesty and calm.” happy B-day. Sumratio.

Does any one make wooden or stab wood sleaves/shells for these Gdna's? I pretty sure I saw Mark Todd with what looked like a Gdna 40 but with a wooden shell in one of his waffles

pdib made a batch of them a while back. Not sure if he has any plans to do more in the future or not being gung ho into Lil' Pinch production but you may want to PM him and find out.

I did a bit of maintenance / rework on my gdeal mods this past weekend. After a year or more of daily use, they were ready for it. Here they are, all working perfectly again:

Yes, I have a quite a few "nicer" mods than these, but none that are as practical.

Finally got my Electronic Thumb finished. OCD Mods rocks. He had some trouble with the cerakote bonding to the filler primer I used to fill in the print lines but he fought through it.

Turned out looking great!
