The final unit of GP PAPS X is ready, but we are not 100% satisfied with the level of precision we asked for in the schematics. So we divided the production of its parts to 2 different CNC shops to achieve what we want exactly. The parts will be calibrated in order to keep the tolerance around 0,005 mm for the parts of the switch, the tube, caps, everything! In a few days, the Easter holidays start and for over a week, all CNC shops will close. These manufacturing and timing delays postpone the release date of GP PAPS X, so I won't post ETA for that. It will be ready when it will.

ETA is something very difficult to identify when we speak for production of prototype mods, at least for us who may decide at the last moment, that something is not good enough and it has to be changed. We are completely crazy with what we are doing, so the only thing we can promise is a continuous improvement in what we do.

A polished tube from the upcoming Lux edition of GP PAPS 2.1 with CNC engraving.
It is from aluminium bronze, it is hard, close grained and with great wear resistance in harsh working environments.
This tube is generally far more resistant to selective attack and corrosion than a brass one, but lower than 316 SS.
The hardness and the conductivity of this alloy is superb due to high levels of copper and aluminium and it is nickel-free and phosphorous-free.
Aluminium bronze should be considered as a bronze with mechanical properties similar to those of a high-grade steel.
With the additional advantage of a better conductivity and a jewel like appearance, without the softness of the brass.

Beautiful. I hope that one day these tubes will be available as extras in 18350 size.

So is the 2.1 spheroid on hold still what about discount code.

Our production is limited and we keep our prices at reasonable levels, so we haven't any discount option.

The GP Spheroid started to be produced in SS 303 with soldered pole, then it became SS 304 mechanical, now it is SS 316 mechanical with PEEK insulators, calibrated threads, extra surface treatment and it is keeping the same price :)

If we start to have vendors, an increase of its price from their stores, has to be expected.
