    The Alp is quiet, but smaller and more challenging to solder, the larger button you should be familiar with.

    I wanted to mention, when I got mine in I didn't see a ridge. Then I dyed it and the ridge line was visible with the dye. It's not terrible to look at, but I couldn't see it until it was dyed; just so you guys know.

    I've found that I prefer the smaller atty's on these types of mods, myself. I use a Cyclone on my 3.1 and it's really great. I also have a Hornet, but the Cyclone's got it beat. As Gdeal said, the 22mm goes TO the Edge, it looks kinda wonky (but I suppose it would work?)

    I had a similar problem when I first built the 3.1. The problem was the connectors weren't fully connecting. I pressed on the top and snugged it down good and it came on. Since then I still need to give a good press when I put the top on, but it works fine; try pressing the top to make sure...

    Very interesting, because I use Navy Blue as a sub for Black, so.. what's up with that. I have a dye called Dylon, tropical green. It's pretty good looking green color.

    I must say, I love this version! It's way easier than the 3.1. I particularly like the way the tact switches fit just right. Well done sir! On a side note, never store latex gloves with menthol chrystals. My hands are cool and minty fresh:facepalm:

    I have minimal experience with dying. I did one that came out pretty well. I don't think you want to put anything on the plastic before dying it. Then after the dye, let it dry over night, then I go over it lightly with a damp cloth, then I use Krylon Satin Finish 1323 to seal it. Others with...

    Just got my unit from Sculteo. I got the standard white strong flexible. I like this better than the one I got from Shapeways. It feels stronger and a bit less flexible. I don't know the differences, or even if there are any, but this feels like a better quality product; and more reasonably...

    Sounds good, thanks. Will I need an airless sprayer? nevermind.. I just watched a video. I think I'll check out OCD Mods. Thanks Gdeal.

    I'm also in need of a "supplemental parts package", but the shipping is a killer. I think I'll contact the people doing the kits and ask if they'd be willing to do a supplemental kit; but I can't find the link atm, anyone got it handy?

    No, more like a history of glue failures, then using too much, or too little. I've never been able to get the "use a drop of ca glue and it adheres in a freakishly strong way", so there it is, no kinky, just a lack of freakishness.:tumble: but I have found a solution; put on a thick layer of...

    Yeah, I think the issue may be my personal relationship with CA glue.
