You are going to SLS print it I assume? Alumide? If it's cheaper to get multiples printed, I would be very interested in one for myself. It would save me trying to find a print service here, let me know when you get quotes on printing it.
Yes, Alumide is the plan. The best quality/price printing company I could find so far was i.materialize in belgium, the automated quote system tells me 30€ to 50€ depending on how many parts I have.
I believe it wouldn't get cheaper unless it's a big batch. Under a certain number you just pay for material + machine space, which would be the same if I print one or two.

Understood. If you share the STL files with us when you get it finalized, that would be awesome!

That's my whole point, well apart from getting one myself of course :D
Making different models to accommodate the most used 510s or dna/YiHi boards wouldn't be hard once the design is final.

They wanna ban our devices? Just try and see what happens ^^

I’m sure someone else answered first, my first non ego was the sigelei zmax v1, but I think Provape came before sigelei. After coffee I’ll hit up google if no one else has found out
The first affordable VV (non-Provari/Buzz Pro) was the Lavatube. It changed everything!

Oh my husband would kill for a "decent" 3 d printer. Given his version of "decent" well, that's not happening any time soon. LOL.

But, hey. I guess I'd allow it, if he makes me ALL the mods I desire. LOL.

Except, we'd be living in one of the sheds... Not so good. Our little dog, who is part chiwawah and part Jack Russell, has firmly adopted my husband as his "person". They've been wandering around all outside, doing things, and when they came inside (which is rare, but the dog seemed to want the husband's company, badly) I wound up laughing and stating, "No, it's just the way you are dressed honey, in tan and cream, and with the bug eyes and etc.... You've come to look like each other more and more all the time!"

They were both offended apparently. LOL. They departed swiftly. And, I get nothing accomplished ATM, either. But, spending all afternoon and evening with the kiddo, it barely seems worth trying to get much accomplished. I did not sleep the best, either.

If I ever get a dog, the dog will need to "match" my appearance already. So, a toothless, drooling monster should work out fine, LOL. Nope, I mean it has to look GREAT. LOL. Maybe I'll grow a set of shark teeth.

"Batteries like these are a tragedy waiting to happen.
Take care of your batteries or we'll see you on the news. I confiscated these from a vaping friend. Follow J Mooch Muchow & Daniel Batista on FB and Youtube. If you're local to Central Mass and need a rewrap or have hacked/missing insulators then bring them over and I'll rewrap them for free."

These were right out of the mod he used every day. He'd been a friend for a year but that day I just had the idea to ask him to show me what he used for batteries. I'm glad I did. These were so bad that he might not have made it home without tragedy. It doesn't hurt to ask.

I've been thinking about getting the Berserker MTL RDA and maybe using it with one of my mech squonk mods. Running it with a 1-1.2 ohm build wouldn't work well with a mech? I ran the #s in steam engine and it came out close to the wattage I'm at.
I had typed a whole block of text but i can sum it up like this. As long as it is safe build to the resistance you enjoy. You may find that to get the same results from a mechanical you need to go a little bit lower than you would on a regulated. Experiment with it and find your sweet spot. Mechs are more tactile than numbers. You gotta find what feels right. Wattage doesn't mean as much as ohms and amps. I was a bit buzzed and posting last night. My apologies.

Do these shiny guys ever sleep? I went back to have a look at what’s happened. Got back to around 4am and thought the guy was in Europe and an early riser.

Dude lives in Vegas. I think some people here buy things 24/7!

What have you encouraged @jfcooley
That is more Vegas's fault than Shinyitis. I work graveyard for now so I am up at some pretty wierd hours. You are right though I was buying stuff. I bought a Pulse Mod for $27. Accidentally ordered cyan but I emailed them trying to change to grey. If not no big deal panels are cheap.

Edit: they changed it to grey for me

What about this one?
In comparison to the jet-style f400, which is about the same price, it has far fewer materials (plus I believe more expensive ones, you'll need that $900 sieve and "fresh" powder to recycle unsintered powder) and a very restricted print size, about 1/4 of the f400. The advantages are those of sintering - more precise (the f400 only has a vertical precision of 1 thou, xy will be more), you can print moving parts and have less surface finishing to do, if any.
Depends on what you want to do, if you're content with only mod sized parts and the material they offer... still seems pretty expensive for not having much choice what materials to use (eg no alumide).
