Limited Run Droid Caller - Precision Machined Kit

[dmachinist]

If anybody is going to add electronics I am including a 9V battery holder, just put a piece of tape on each side to hold the battery in,
also I can't find an exact match for the lighted button like I originally thought, so I will get something as close as possible that has an amber light and clear button,

Ok, man.
Now you have me.

Thank you for your kind PMs.
Just waited to see the body part
I'm in now.

Will order today ^^

Edit: Ordered it.

This project is getting better by the day!

 

[QCWolf]

Talk about value added! As usual, you're going above and beyond. The battery holder is a fantastic addition.

Thanks for all the hard work.

Are you considering making EXTRA T-slots?

There is a need out there... I for one need 2.

 

[dmachinist]

I might have a couple t-slots left over after the run but I am not planning to run many extras,
The bottom screw is included in the kit and I might have a few of those extra, there were a couple guys asking about them also,

Thanks for the good wishes on my hip replacement guys :cheers
quite honestly I'm a little nervous but everyone I talk to that had it done is happy they did it

 

[dmachinist]

Bump!
Come on guys let's get those orders in, you will be happy you did :cheers

 

[dmachinist]

Just got done with the longest part, the handles, I just have to cut off the backside, the rest of the parts should not take as long,
there is a lot of material coming off these



this is the bottom end that's threaded, the end caps will be next, they will have the serial numbers on them,
then the large screw that goes in the bottom caps will cover that when put in.

 

[NeoRutty]

Lookin great...

This is moving along quite well.

Finishing up the t-slots


and started the bottom caps


I also have someone working on making a "wrap" for the body that has the wrinkle paint finish and logo,
you just have to glue it on, I will let you know how it goes after I get more details,

 

[dmachinist]

Ok guys, I am going in to get my hips replaced tomorrow, this is what I am up to:


There is not much left to do, I expect to ship mid January,
again I am sorry about the delay but I have to get these hips done while the getting is good,
I have installed CNC machinery in factories around the country that make the implants, pretty cool stuff,
I will be off line for a few days, will check in when I can and let you know how it went,

 

[3oin]

Good Luck, thanks for all the hard work

I've been fighting the urge to buy one of these and lost the battle! Order placed.
