Grandad haha yeah I know, I can't believe they are so hard to get hold of! feel like I should be keeping them locked in a safe. Hopefully the guys at modmaker will be having a new 510 realised mid February. So there is light at the end of the tunnel. I suspect there will be a mad dash to buy them, hopefully they can keep up with demand. I'll keep you updated regarding the mod, and thanks for the interest you have shown

Thanks guys really mean a lot coming from you! Grandad luckily I got some FDV V4 510's, I kind of had a feeling there would be a shortage. But I don't have many. I have one FDV V4 Ultimate edition, as in the picture above. I had designed it to take the FDV V4 short 510 so it sits flush to the mod, so could change it for one of those, I have about two or three of those left. Here's a pic of the internals, please note the contacts will be made better than in the pic, I just had these lying around and threw them in to test it. Should have a delivery of a new sheet tomorrow....Also have silver available, but again adds to the price a bit.

Another prototype arrived today, pics don't do it much justice in artificial light, I'll try take better pics tomorrow, but I'm quite happy with it. I have made some significant changes and improvements to the logo and layout design since this was ordered. This was a test of measurements and the dimensions of the box and inlay. All fits together really well and feels good in hand. I've also decided to use SLS Nylon rather than Allumide, as the cost of prints in that material are unfortunately rather high, so this will be a one off. Unless otherwise requested. Calling this one the Black Pearl, there will also be a White Pearl which will be....white, of course and feature green abalone and then the finalised Illuminati mod will also be available. The complete and tested designs for all three should be available by the end of Feb beginning of March latest. Hopefully at least someone will be interested haha, and thanks for putting up with my ramblings

thebishman It does look a bit worse in the close up pic, but it definitely needs to be reduced, I'm glad you mentioned it though, sometimes you miss things when you've looked at them for so long. I've revised the design and added a few touches lacking in the prototype Im definitely going to be getting into regulated squonkers down the line, hopefully I get a bit of support along the way as any profit I manage to make will be going straight back in to bigger and better things. Hoping this is just the beginning

thebishman thank you for the feedback Constructive criticism is really appreciated. I agree with you completely, sometimes its not so obvious on screen, until it's in your hand. Revisions have now been made and the button will definitely be reduced by a few mm.

Another prototype just arrived. This time in alumide, with mother of pearl inlay. I have two completely different models/designs inbound in the beginning of Feb. (I need to take better pics)

Grandad thanks for your positive comment. I'm finalising a design (hopefully) people will really like. I'm a bit of a perfectionist and it's a project of passion, so it's taking a while I'm trying to do something a bit different using mother of pearl, tortoise shell and a few other interesting materials. It should be ready by the end of Jan. I'm on a few Facebook groups too (busy setting my own up atm its a shame it can be so difficult to get the mods you want. Partly why I gave up and decided to get into making my own. Also I found squonkers were never made for left handed people, discrimination against a minority....unacceptable!

I'm open to offers, or lower prices for more than one item.

Appreciate the feedback thebishman . Yeah its a mech. I'd definitely be asking a fair price, similar to some other 3D printed mechs on the market. But will come with silver contacts and other touches that should hopefully appeal to fellow squonkers

thebishman Hahaha yeah I only caught on after....I'm a bit slow tonight, its Friday so it ok Thanks car147 I really appreciate hearing that. It's my first go at making my own mods, but I've worked quite hard on this. I'm hoping to get a small batch in production for sale in the near future. I have a few different variations and options I'm hoping to make available. Just need to try and see if there would be some interest before I put too much money into it.

Thanks I made the design and got it 3D printed. I'm trying out different materials, alumide would be my preference but bumps the cost up considerably :/
