Thanks for the advice Rossum.
Just put it all in the bag for now. Will get to the sealing and maybe painting and clear coating the black buttons and ring chrome or brass ( haven't decided yet) till Kata's part run goes live.

I tried black RIT.... It came out blue..... (but it was the liquid version).
i dyed in the crockpot this morning with black dye and vinegar and yep, it's blue :-[
kinda like a medium-dark denim though, so that's not too bad. i should dye/paint the ring and button lipstick red - maybe go for that rosie the riveter look ??
heh.
The countdown is on... Just waiting on the 2nd magnet's glue to dry... This Shapeways print required a lot of scraping, sanding and filing etc... Had some extra parts ... 2 springs, a couple o-rings and a nut ... will find out if it works in a couple hours... 
I added an o-ring under the top magnet in the button cap to get the poles closer.

the *polished* parts of my shapeway order arrived today and i have to wonder why they charge more for polished. i see/feel absolutely no difference between the plain and the polished.
Peko gets SS feeder tube insert ...
Some juice and a test...
Works great!
Size and shape is perfect!
Many thanks gdeal for sharing your 3D print to all of us!

Was trying to get on a coop but but fell thru. Anyone have a set of parts for the peko they are willing to sell?
update on the black dye (powder): i put the parts back in the crockpot and put the lid on, cocked a bit so it wouldn't boil. after many hours i finally have a black case ... plus i got a bunch of yarns dyed quasi-black that i hated the color of.
Just curious as I am awaiting the next coop, other than length, are their any other differences in the buttons? Which do most prefer? I would think the shorter button would be better for a button mashing hoople, right? Not that I am one, but have been known to be on occasion.

Would that be this SS tubing?
Stainless Steel 316 Hypodermic Tubing, 15 Gauge, 0.072" OD, 0.054" ID, 0.009" Wall, 12" Length: Industrial Metal Tubing: Amazon.com: Industrial & Scientific
I would like to give this a try, but I don't have a local "Tube Mart" so I have to order online.

Yes that number h0072009t316who happens to match what's on container that I've been using pieces from and I got my SS tube from Amazon.
Any similar size should work. A slightly thinner wall would be easier to feed through the section pinched by the bottle cap.
This round got Minwax oil-modified polyurethane clear gloss (not in a rattle can)... I don't know how well it'll hold up yet. I thought I'd try it because it's an easy water cleanup. I used cheap little foam brushes to apply it.
The shells have been sitting for a few days after the last coat and I did wipe the Peko down tonight with some rubbing alcohol and then some SS 409 cleaner just to see if either had some effect. I didn't scrub but I noticed no change to the feel or sheen.

Just FYI, the low rider button is difficult to adjust because..... it's low. Duhh... but still it would have been nice to know before I ordered a bunch of them. I like the look, but if you want to be able to adjust it without breaking out some needle nose pliers then go with the taller one. On the plus side, once it's adjusted how you want it, you really don't change it, and the low button looks better in my opinion.
I just signed up for next run coop
This is my first coop, so will have to bookmark the rules for them. Also need to catch up on these threads [was reading early on and got sidetracked] to see which materials work best before ordering printed parts

Excellent! Mine is out for delivery. While I don't have anything that will squonk I will test it out with a few builds. Gdeal, if you don't mind me asking, what ohms do you normally shoot for on your builds for the Peko? Like a warm vape so thinking around 0.7 ohms, any issues with heat?
Peko fell....Peko broke[emoji26] looks like I'm gonna have to order a few extra of the internals.
I would make a good beta tester. I tend to find everything's weak spot rather quickly.
