It's probably more for people that already own a REO

Oh my effin god

Edit: it's awesome, but not as slick and elegant, imho. That's not gdeals fault- reos are designed to be tanks,

Ok guys, I have a quick question. So I'm dry fitting the Polished Gray parts from Sculpteo and I notice on the screen cover, where the battery contact is supposed to slide in, there are no grooves in the rails. Is it ok to just grind these rails off and glue the contact on the cover? I just don't know how I can create grooves where there are none to start with or how to fit the battery contact in there.

Would appreciate any help. Thanks!

You could make the groove with a coping saw blade?

I have one with removed rails and now has a slightly wider gold contact held in place with epoxy ... haven't observed any issues yet.

A sawzall or jigsaw blade also works good. I also use an xacto knife if only a small amount of cleaning out is needed.

You guys sound like I know what i'm doing no idea what those are but I'll look them up

Thanks

The grooves are prolly there, just covered in dust, just use a sharp object to score and clean out the dust

 

[kingdal]

Did that Bob. Scored with an awl then a screwdriver...nothing. I have to say, the gray polished just doesn't seem to have good tolerances as the white polished. Everything fits tights so I had to do a bit more work to prep it. Had some problems with the grooves on the screen cover as well but fixed it eventually. If I get another one, it will be in white. So much easier, hardly any prep work needed

A sawzall or jigsaw blade also works good (not teeth flat in groove, but at 45 degree). I also use an xacto knife if only a small amount of cleaning out is needed.

Maybe a Jack Hammer?

 

[BobC]

Well, I saw you mention a Sawzall, so I figured why not go all the way

 

[kingdal]

This is a bit strange. Grey Polished is basically White unpolished, but then dyed and polished. I am interested to see what they did to the rails. Can you post a picture? Maybe I can make an adjustment to the design?

Hey Gdeal, I don't now much about 3d printing but personally, I think its just a bad unit. Even though the tolerances were a little off overall, only one small part had a real problem. This is the same screen cover that I had problems fitting into the base without the frame legs splaying out. Anyway, sorry for the quality of the pic. I couldn't get any closer with my phone camera

 

[kingdal]

Yep didnt have this problem on my white polished and I understand this stuff isn't going to be perfect. I gotta go see if I can find a coping saw blade around here. Worst case, I might just grind the rails off and glue the contact on. As always, thanks for the help!

Nail file, folded sandpaper, even string...most anything can be used.

For those of us who are challenged in the tools and tool use department like Bob here, a pic might help. Probably not Bob, he is beyond help. ..lol. A few short hand drawn swipes with the blade biased about 45 degrees and slots are there.....no sweat.

So, we're killin flies with Hand Grenades these days

Why all these fancy tools. Just go to the kitchen, grab whatever sharp thing you see first.

 

[BobC]

Why waste time going to the kitchen? I took a piece of twisted kanthal wire from the vape box and slid it back and forth in the groove.

My kinda guy, never get up if ya don't have to, it cuts in to your vaping

 

[Aal_]

You know what, just run it back and forth through your front teeth.

 

[BobC]

Here in Brooklyn, we use toothpicks

 

[kingdal]

You guys are giving me a million things to try....i know what i'll be doing this weekend

....front teeth...?
