Sounds good, thanks. Will I need an airless sprayer? nevermind.. I just watched a video. I think I'll check out OCD Mods. Thanks Gdeal.

did a quick sketch of a basic idea for the body. think I might have that tentacle wrap around to the other side of the mod so it's not just on one side
anything else I should go for. I don't want a bunch of white space. using the thin sharpies to color

I might add another tentacle that stretches to the top cap but I wasn't sure of the orientation so I'm holding off right now
It probably would have but I wasn't too bothered tbh. As long as I seal the device before I leak juice everywhere it should be sufficient for me.
I suck at coloring. Looked a bit more pronounced before I started filling it in

Just got my unit from Sculteo. I got the standard white strong flexible. I like this better than the one I got from Shapeways. It feels stronger and a bit less flexible. I don't know the differences, or even if there are any, but this feels like a better quality product; and more reasonably priced too. Can't beat that 
I'm going to use dye, then seal it. If I'm not happy with it I bet I could opt for the Carecote down the road. I hope.

I think I'm done. Not sure about the straight white button but whatevs
Ok. Figured I'd ask (because I'm all paranoid to buy the wrong thing), is there ar V3.1 case that fits the large screens?
If not I'm going to have to buy a couple of the kits for the v4 version.

No 3.1 large screens at the moment, if you have 3.1 kits, you can get the 3.1 to 4.2 upgrade kits from Livewire

I got my 26650 today too and was wondering about dying it.If you dont mind ,what kind of dye are you going to use and does it cover well? I was thinking about priming mine 1st ,then paint with krylon for plastic. Anyone have any thoughts on this ,good or bad?
Thanks in advance
Thats pretty sweet Kurrpt I was contemplating doing almost exactly that, except Cthulhu motif.
I have minimal experience with dying. I did one that came out pretty well. I don't think you want to put anything on the plastic before dying it. Then after the dye, let it dry over night, then I go over it lightly with a damp cloth, then I use Krylon Satin Finish 1323 to seal it. Others with more experience may have more info, but dying, if done well, comes out very nice.
Here is lasts nights work. Really enjoyed working on it, really mind blowing creating something like this from scratch, the hours, attention to detail, every little piece, component serves its purpose.
Half a day at work today (due to snow, Happy Spring!), so when I get back hopefully I can finish it up. Tomorrow I am going to a local Byrnes coating shop to get a price for Cerakote.
Trying to keep questions to a minimum but thanks for the help so far.

I must say, I love this version! It's way easier than the 3.1. I particularly like the way the tact switches fit just right. Well done sir!
On a side note, never store latex gloves with menthol chrystals. My hands are cool and minty fresh

can't find my polyurethane container. what's a good spray I can get from like K-Mart? I'd like to get this thing squared away because the upgrade parts arrive tomorrow.
