Need some quick input on a mod.

[RatInDaHat]

so i decided to finally make my first battery mod. It is a mechanical, side-actuated push button setup. I'm just curious, do you like it with the grooves or without the grooves? I'm just debating as to which one i like. I'm also open to other ideas as well for the main body.

I would make both.

One day you will wonder why you asked that question.

Like what's the difference between having 37 or 38 mods?

 

[RatInDaHat]

haha.. too true. If i have it setup for the grooved one, it is only a simple change to ignore the grooves.

 

[Gummy Bear]

I think the grooves are, well,,, groovy

 

[JonahNM]

I like the grooves. But both are nice.

 

[McG]

Grooves, gives it nice nice look. IMHO

 

[Rocketman]

How about black O-rings in the grooves. You can find "bags" of them on eBay.

I like the grooves, but go for both.

 

[TomCatt]

What a silly question....both of course!

might have to do that on one of them.

Both look good, are you going to mill them yourself?

Snore.... C'mon Rat have some fun. Triangular like a toblerone box would be a challenge....

 

[Ever1ast]

If I could only pick one...I'd go with the grooves

I am machining them myself. Materials and supplies are in so i'm just in the process of programing the tool paths.

If i was swiss, the toblerone would make sense. while interesting, it would be bigger and possibly uncomfortable. Though maybe a triangular one would be good for the new vapor, kind of like the starter pencils from kindergarten.

also, i don't really feel like setting up my 4th axis on my mill right this second. It is a process at the least.

I pretty much knew it couldn't happen on a lathe alone, was really just messin with ya. On the grooves thing, perhaps a diamond pattern in between the grooves would be cool, small for gripping or large just for looks.

 

[RatInDaHat]

knurling would be cool, but amazingly enough, with the work i do i have little need for a knurling tool. In otherwords, i actually don't have one, though i should get one at some point.

 

[Dalton63841]

might have to do that on one of them.

If you did put O-rings in the grooves, I would use silicon, as black rubber has a strange reaction with sweat...

now that is some color options.
