This looks amazing Gdeal. Would love to get my hands on one of these when you release the parts list and onto shapeways. I look forward to building something like this.

Quick update. The beta is moving along nicely, all testers have ordered parts from shapeways and we should start receiving them late next week. So its going to be few more weeks for results.
I also feel like I should mention specifically, if you havent noticed (lol), that the shape of the V3 is inspired by pdib's Oliver. While this device has a similar form factor, it is in no-way ever going to be on the level for the beauty and feel in the hand as an OliveR. ( I know, I have both).
pdib's work with wood is outstanding and his quality is second to none. This mod is plastic and is a complex DIY project that will require a lot dedication to pull together.
Sorry ScandaLeX, this is just a hobby, I will never sell these....
Aalwani - the SX350 is bit too big and the screen orientation wont permit anything in this size. It will require a new design something along the lines of what Turbocad6 did with his 26650 mod. I am working on it, but the initial sizing of the chip in the form factor looks to add a bit of width and depth.

You know, with some creative milling, drilling, and file-work, you could build an external box from exotic hardwood (to replace your Shapeways case), and then slide that printed internal sled with all the guts into it, and top it off with your printed top-cap, and have a SUPER-spiffy version of this mod.
Can the individual parts of this kit be bought separately, or are you only making it available through Shapeways as a complete kit?
You've really got me thinking...

Yes, The internal parts are grouped up as one unit at shapeways, so it will be available. But I think the whole unit could be made to fit a 100% wood shell.
This is absolutely amazing! Great work gdeal. Thank you so much for putting this out there for other adventurous moders. I'd love to take this project on. 
You are full of innovations , a SX350 26650 mod would be awesome, and with the tight tolerances and the printing it wouldn't be that big.

The 26650 is a big battery and heavy!.
For example: Dimensions: 2.68 in x 1.02 in x 1.02 in (6.8 cm x 2.6 cm x 2.6 cm)
Weight: 6.38 oz (181 g)
I need to look at this more closely and see how its sizes in to the design..
Thanks another project...lol
I came up with a compact way to pair the 26650 with a juice bottle and the sx350 chip. basically the bottle and the chip stacked approx equal the width of the battery so together they fit very efficiently space wise and give a mod that still fits in your palm, of course it's a little fat but it's not as bad as you would think, it's still very nice in the hand.
the problem is, the 26650 isn't necessarily much better than the best 18650's out there when it comes to using it with a vv chip, so it really doesn't last all that much longer within the range of use of a 35 watt chip, where the 26650's really shine is with mech's. they can really take repeated heavy loads of super low ohm high amp builds better before they drop below 3.7v so they last maybe 40% longer when your really doing high power vaping, but with a chip it's almost wasted space and weight. I mean don't get me wrong it does last a little longer than my 18650 vv bf mod but only like 15-20% longer at best from what I'm seeing. not so sure it's worth the added bulk tbh. it makes a cool mod but it's not so much better than an 18650 when it comes to vv in the 30-35 watt range. start pushing 50-60 watts and more and then the 26650 will start earning it's weight

Thanks turbo, kind of doesn't make sense given the size & weight of it, I'll stick with 18650s
