I’ve been printing test parts trying to get the tolerance correct. I want them to have a particular feel. It feels like I’m getting closer to a release date.

I’ve made 10 so far. I have enough materials to make 20 and ‘thought’ I made 20 shells, but I only printed 14. I’m not sure if I should start selling now or when I have all 20 made. Also, I’m going to increase the price to $59.95 each. I’m doing this because of all…

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…
