Hoogie, The cats out of the bag

[hoogie76]

It is limited with the size of carto that will fit but most of the standard sizes will fit with no problems.. The bigger ones won't work on this version.

gristle- we can print about 20 a day as it's composed of 5 actual parts.

asdaq-- yes, they can be sanded but being abs plastic, if you go too fast (belt sander), they tend to melt kind of instead of sand..

What model of ABS printer do you have?

 

[hoogie76]

We have 2, an UP! which is okay but is single head and requires frequent calibration due to a wobbly platform (only 1 mount point) and a BFB3000 which has 2 print heads (1 for support material and 1 for actual material) and is a more stable but a bit slower. BFB was just bought out by 3d Systems so it will be exciting to see what they do with the printer other than raise the price

i am sooo ready for these to be ready , i really want one

 

[hairball]

Will this fit the Giantomizers or the vape-O-Matic Liquinator?

I can see the liquinator being used on it with an extension...the extention would lift it up enough to not interfere with the switch...giantomizers I suppose would work with an extension as well but both of these defeats the purpose of a stealth type mod.

Hoogie, please keep us posted on an ETA.

 

[ukeman]

hooog, that is exactly what i've been dreaming of... a recessed thing... but for 901 attys though... ?

Will it take an atty?

The reason is that the 901's are kinda long, and on tube or any conventional PV, they're add to the height... a recessed 901 pv just like that?

If you need some ABS let me know. I can do pellet, and strands. black, grey, pink, and some white.

 

[hairball]

I would like to know the eta? I don't need another mod, but I want this one.

 

[highspeeddirt]

Sign me up for one or two. I think my wife would love one of these for work.

The update on the painfully slow progress of these is that they are still in the works

3-d printer was great for prototyping but not fast enough to produce what we needed and there was a little bit of an accuracy problem with the bottom caps.. So we had the product re-drawn and are currently working to have a mold made for injection molding. It's a long a tedious process but once complete (3-5 more works supposedly) we should be able to pump out the 18350 version and an 18650 version..

As far as atties and adapter, they will absolutely work but once you screw an adapter or extension into the recessed connector and want to change it, it's a bit of a challenge to get them out. Long needle nose and tweezers will work but still a bit more hassle than required..

We did get some great sla prototypes from a company and use them daily but they again were more for proof of concept and that they could be injection molded..

Will update when there is something cool to show..

If you need a beta tester for any of the revisions...you have my address! (Send a pm if you don't feel like looking it up and I will straighten that out ASAP!)

As always I continue to watch developments with great interest There's been quite a few "mods for the people" released to market, but most of them leave a little something to be desired.

no problem, just message me your specs you need. Ill trade it for juice, cartos, and batts lol. Do you dry your material beforehand? ABS holds a lot of moisture which can cause splayed molds, brittleness, ect..

Very interested in this mod for the same reason you mentioned Hoog. I typically use a Reo grand for the places I go that really don't care what I'm doing with my large box mod. I had been using a Reo mini for stealth but with an atty and drip tip it still garners lots of stares. So lately I've gone with a PS Icon and Boge or DC cartos for a "I know what he's doing" solution that still draws the ire of some antis but alleviates the "what the hell is he smoking" attention. I also really like the added benefit of an additional 100mah of the IMR 18350 over the IMR 14500. Can't wait to see the new IM-process version and you can count on me for at least two in black. Lovin' the DC cartos as well and have a Super sitting here to try. So my guess is this is going to be a perfect discreet solution.

Any update on this?

 

[wwturner]

Hoog, you COULD make a tank-compatible version of this by replacing the side of it that houses the carto tube with a larger tube with holes big enough in the side of it to accomodate the average size of a tank, allowing people to reach the tank with their fingertips to spin it the tank on or off. Sure, it'll take a bigger palm, but people would have to mess with refilling less often.

Or just add an extender to the atty before you screw it in

 

[wwturner]

That would defeat the purpose of it being palmable.
