Re: Graflex Conversion Blade Plugs

I'd like a 2.0 -- 1.5" -- CU-W please!I understand I'd be on a possible 2nd run list and it will take a bit, thanks!

I didn't make it on the list for some reason. Thanks!

Glad to hear you guys are doing better! Don't overdo it (but still, let's get this cool stuff out, eh? )

Currently I won't be updating the second list, since it's still 40 or so people deep right now. I have the rest written down in my personal hand written log, so when the time comes I can update the list from there. Until then, the primary focus for us needs to be the first run. I'll be sure to include you where you fall if the second list goes through in production!

Re: Graflex Conversion Blade Plugs

Alright! So like I said, we'd finally really get rolling on this now that we can dedicate a lot of time to these.

Here's my GBA with a hole drilled out for a vintage glass eye.

This is the 2.0 Graflex.

Now for this, my LED doesn't fit inside of the 2.0 blade holder, since it's for a 1 inch blade. So the LED is farther away, and doesn't look as bright. If you were to push it closer, it would look more like the GBA.

We ran out of stock so now we're going to need more, so we'll start with the polycarbonate process now while the stock comes in.

Thanks guys.

ALSO!

For those that see this thread for the first time, please, PLEASE, PLEASE!!! read the thread thoroughly. It will explain the list and how it's working as of this week. Do not just assume that if you post your comment at the end of this thread demanding your blade plug that you will magically float to the front of the list, because there are about 120 people ahead of you, and only about 50 to 55 of those are going to get there's in the coming weeks. The rest is really up in the air. We may open it up to "made to order" after this run, but we'll have to wait and see.

Re: Graflex Conversion Blade Plugs

Awesome! Also one question.. For the 2.0s..can you insert the plug from the front without needing to remove the lower portion of the graflex? It's a matter of convenience

Yes! You can just slide it right in through the top just like a standard blade. Whatever you choose as your blade retention screw will be up to you!

Re: Graflex Conversion Blade Plugs

Man, do those plugs look nice. If you're still putting names on that potential waitlist/made-to-order list, I'd like to be on it.

Re: Graflex Conversion Blade Plugs

Hey everyone,

Today we have a pretty big update, and some good/bad news.

We're almost there with the blade plugs, we're just waiting on some shipping to finally come through, and some other minor things here and there with some of the materials we use. Other than that, we're almost done!

We had some complications, which in turn is a big reason why these are at the 6 week mark and still not fully finished. The final cost for us ended up being a big changing event, and resulted in the spending of more money than we anticipated. Between shipping things back and forth to each other, things not showing up on time, things needing to be re ordered... it was a big hassle! Like I've said before, we're hobbyists, and neither of us expected it to turn out the way it did!

With all of that said, we have some semi-bad news to go along with the good news...

The price was originally set at 15 USD, with 7 USD for S+H. Unfortunately do to cost differences, the price will have to go up to 18 USD, while the shipping stays the same.

We completely understand if that hits people the wrong way, and those who do not wish to go through are willing to drop as they please. This is a big reason why we didn't accept payments early on! I was afraid of complications like this arising, and thankfully we prepared for it.

That also being said, we will begin taking payments SOON. After the next week or so, the list will be locked in, and we'll be ready to go! We'll announce when payments are ready to begin!

Thanks guys, and look for updates soon.

Boo-urns on the price, but thank you for letting us know with more than enough time beforehand. Please go ahead and lock my order in. I'm okay with the slight increase.
