Would really like to see the carbon print Maker next to the carbon fiber LBC door 
If I remember correctly I thought Tom said he was going to be able to do the Maker & the Stillare for what they retail. Which is $80. I hope that is what they end up being

Other great news... I just got an email from the Machine shop making the LBC bodies.... They promise to have them in my meaty little fists by the end of next week..
Who is getting excited now?
Btw, I should have mentioned long ago I suppose the carbon fiber on the pictured demos is the cheap stuff; yours will come with the good large twill and much smoother expensive stuff. Google "Dragon Plate" to get a better idea. The fire buttton will also be 2mm larger in diameter as well, I didn't have an 8mm end mill to cut the hole in the carbon fiber but the cf machine shop does.

Nice build at that. Although a bit of a tight fit, the Thump seems to love the larger build coils...( twisted 3mm 28's to 0.3) With 2 1/2 intakes wide open over each coil, about as smooth of a draw as they come...
Just throwing a couple of things out there I have noticed with MM. If you don't get all the "folds" opened up enough this is more likely to happen. This is more likely to happen with 0.1mm thick ribbon than .07mm thick ribbon because it is more rigid. Using wider than 0.6mm ribbon can also lead to popping due to the longer "tunnels". I made some 1.0mm wide ribbon into MM and it made the atty look like an old time steam engine. Make sure the twist direction of the 3 "folded" strands is the same or that can lead to 1 strand not opening up proper. Run a lighter or propane torch down the finished MM to anneal it before wrapping the coil. Make sure and dry burn it till it heats nice and even if making a contact coil then do it a few more times to make sure there aren't any hot spots. I like to stuff the cotton in thick with MM. I twist the cotton tight then pull in the coil with enough cotton it will start to deflect the coil without a small screwdriver at the pulling end holding the end of the coil from deflecting. Sometimes pulling in the cotton that tight can create a hot spot that pops or sputters and I just have to pull the wick and start the dry burn process over again. YMMV
Close... The Stillare will be $5 cheaper. When I spout of on the price I often forget about paypal's, piece, Chad's piece and the ever unfortunate piece taken up by the usps. If you want to pay me direct via the accepted methods from the clone run I can do them for retail plus shipping.If I remember correctly I thought Tom said he was going to be able to do the Maker & the Stillare for what they retail.
