I just PM'ed you with my order...
Got it. The email just came through as well. Go figure.
I had a chance today to make a set of the real wood grips. It took me a few tries to get the hang of the accuracy on my drill press (and about ten minutes wasted trying it with a hand drill and failing to get straight holes) but I finally got a handle on things. I also was able to find strips of basswood as opposed to sheets, so I'm starting with the width and thickness of the strips and I just needed to cut them to length then drill the holes. They are slightly wider and a tad thicker than the 3d printed grips, but the difference is miniscule and doesn't change anything about the overall appearance.
Here's the real wood set next to the painted 3d printed set of grips.
And here are the real wood grips on the finished prototype.
This one set took me about a half hour to make between the trial and error of the drill press and multiple sanding sessions (I should have just saved it all for the end after they were cut and drilled) but I should be able to streamline it so I don't go insane before I get them all done haha. I really didn't think it would take that long.
For those that ordered kits with the wood, when you get your set they will require minimal clean up of little bits in the holes and you may choose to sand them smoother around the edges but the sets you'll get will have one pass at them with a fine grit so they're primed for paint. As mentioned in the first post, they are hand made one at a time so they won't all be perfect. It'll add character!
