It is made with CNC-router and the rest parts of the switch as well, this has increased the construction cost much more than in v2.5. We want the mod to be affordable, but it isn't cheap.
The cross shape button serves 4 functions:
1. We moved there the vent holes so the main body has a cleaner look.
2. At the same time these legs help to tighten the negative post which has a screw now as X.
3. It creates a path to drive the movement of button in a precise manner.
4. It integrates top and bottom cap with symmetrical references to cross like shapes.
The switch housing is redesigned to hold a thicker and wider spring, offering better conductivity from v2.5, retaining the same touch feeling of v2.5. The reverse locking combined with the GPin and the thin lip of the switch base needs to turn and push at the same time when we screw the switch into the tube. The precision machining of the button and the top cap and the tube is better than v2.5. The switch and the GPin of v3 are made in Athens, while the top cap and the tubes are made in Sofia for the current batch. All of our machinists in both countries know each other's work and they cooperate frequently. Depending on the batch and the version, our mods or different parts of them are made in these places from the same EU certified 316 SS rods. Synchronising the whole production is an unforgettable psychedelic experience with much traveling and we love what we are doing!
