That is true and I agree with you as I have those screws myself, however, less modification is always good when there's no need for modification
Sent from the Truck O shop
Depending on the exact type of tubing you use (what I have is dimensionally the same as recommended by gdeal, but a bit stiffer) it can be something of a PITA to get it started on the screw. It can help to shove something tapered into the end of the tubing to stretch it a bit. What amazes me is that juice doesn't seep along the threads of the screw.
I have used a hair dryer for aiding installing really stubborn tubing. A heat gun works really well, but can go really bad, really quick.....really!

What this really means is: He needs backups for the one he's already got up and running.
I make do with mechs as backups.
One heck of a Trio you have, kinda like hanging out with the band Cream... Vape on
Thanks. There's actually a wee fourth member of the family, but I'm sworn to secrecy and can't show it yet.
The biggest problem with having these is that all my other stuff has fallen into utter disuse. Conventional DNA mods and RTAs -- I just don't feel like bothering with 'em anymore.
More Better!
You know I have access to a plasma cutter, right ?
Why fool around...

I made an order from FatDaddys for parts...... Gotta get the rest of the parts now as my ShapeWays parts just shipped out.
I ordered a set of those.... Hopefully it'll work well together, or at least I'm going to make it work ;-)

Haha....having "A Taste of Brass" huh?
Got all of my parts coming...... Will have to use two 7amp fuses in parallel instead of the 14 amp, but that is marginally better electronically anyway.
Really digging the way the semi-gloss came out.
Once they cure for 72 hours I'll take better pictures.
Method
Note that when applying successive coats
Previous coat should haze over (fog up)
This is what you want, contrary to what your heart/brain complex believes
If any area isn't hazed, touch it up lightly feathering in the poly
After flashing off for about 5 minutes the poly will become clear again - don't panic, carry a towel

Method
- brush well with never used paint brush to remove print dust
- apply 4 to 6 light coats in alternating directions
- mod should look 'wet' all over
- let flash off for 15 minutes in warm, dry, ventilated area
- repeat steps 2-4 an additional 5 times

Now I'm sure I will get the white one. Will be ordering tomorrow.
Tell me something subjectively. I was thinking the ring and button would be the strong and flexible (grainy) and the body and cap polished. Do you think it is a good match? I don't like same look all over and I'm really digging the white for possibility of painting and because I don't have white mods
