All things being equal, I'd hire you.. But let's say, you created a custom fencing setup for $800 and then another company copied your design and undersold you for 1/2 price to your customer, would you be ok with it?!

I'm so upset.. I drilled out my rm2 and like a fool way too big. Its unusable. Ordered a spare and have a brass one coming tomorrow but I hate having to spend money on my mistakes...

It works but there's a point in drilling where you get less clouds and I hit that point immediately.
I've been in a lot of pain for a few days so drilling while medicated wasn't a smart thing to begin with.

yup, the Vamo got dropped and died so I opened it up pulled the board and cut off the display window part, redrilled the hole for the switch and replaced the top cap...
now I have a "mech" :)

    BK, I don't blame you for purchasing the clones, but at the end of the day, they are still counterfeit products that are a slap in the face of hard working folk that have designed/created them. I'd rather not get into an ethics argument here but suffice to say that I support what Pappy is doing, where he has confirmed more than once that he likes the product and is now paying tribute to it's creator by purchasing an original.

    Dusty , sometimes a slap to the face or a kick in the .... is necessary to give a company a dose of economic reality , the clones did just that with SM , I'm not gonna discuss ethics but I have little or no sympathy for companies that overcharge for a product , we'll never agree on this subject this is simply my feelings on the matter .

    I read BK's suggestion about soldering, which is good if you're good at soldering. However, I seem to remember XFooYen recommending some sort of epoxy or putty that was super strong and when dry was drill-able?

    Where is X btw, has he been on the hardware thread much lately? I haven't.

    I'm good actually. Rob from reosmods has a adjustable air prototype thingy or something he's sending me. Plus I already received my third rm2 so no complaints.
