Last batch for a while
Thank you to everyone that expressed interest in my sliders. I feel just as passionate about them.
January 2024 Batch
I’m working on the next batch. There will be 10 sliders if I don’t ruin any putting them together. It will be a while before I make another batch if I decide to make more.
Progress update on next batch
The process is going well. All of the parts are printed and all of the base magnets are assembled. Cleaning the parts takes the longest, and there are a few more parts that need to be cleaned. The remainder will be adding the PTFE tape and assembly. I’m thinking they will be available to purchase…
Next batch incoming
The next batch will be released in a few weeks. There will be 20 matte black sliders.
Will there be more sliders…?
I’ve been considering hanging it up. It’s a tedious process to make them, and I won’t lower my standards. My printer is acting up, so I’d like to take apart the feeder mechanism if I’m going to start printing again. Generally, life things have been keeping me busy lately. On the plus side. I do…

I have most all of the slider bodies produced and cleaned up. I’m waiting on magnets, the bases still need to be printed, and time for assembly. I’m really pleased with the quality of the prints. At one point I thought about printing the parts less dense to save time and material. I’ve decided against…
Working out kinks in 3D printing
Things were busy for a bit, but have slowed down. I have time now to work on the next batch. I’ve been working on getting a cleaner print to come off the bed. It’s been tedious work cleaning up the completed prints. Each one has to be trimmed by hand, and I do it using…
When is the next batch?
I’ve been busy with life stuff lately, so I’ll need a few months before I’m able to release the next batch. I’m going to do a bit of redesign on the slider to make it more reliable to print. The next batch will be the matte black slider 2 click version. At some point I’d…
