Re: The Force Awakens *Spoilers* Data Storage Device Star Wars *Spoilers*

Have you ID'd the metal closure used on the pouch?

No, and I can't see it in the film. You can see that there's a metal clasp, because of the way it shines, but no detail on it. I've found a clasp I like, and picked up a pack of twenty, but it isn't the same as the VD one. I've got some leather lace coming my way too. The clasp is of course easily removable, so in the event we find out more info on it in the future, it'd be easy to swap out. Once they all get in, I'll have the pouch ready to go.

The bag in the VD pic isn't the right color. The movie one looks a bit darker, so I went with the leather in the pic I posted yesterday.

I'll be putting the for sale thread up on monday/tuesday for this first batch of 25.

The first batch are all chipped resin I assume? Any idea on how far out the metal ones are or if you are still planning on doing them?

These are all with a chip. I'll have info on the metal ones early next week, and will be ready to ship everything before the end of this month.

Re: The Force Awakens *Spoilers* Data Storage Device Star Wars *Spoilers*

im definitely in for a metal with chip (if available) and pouch

 

[zenix]

Re: The Force Awakens *Spoilers* Data Storage Device Star Wars *Spoilers*

Nope, metal blocks radio signals so that won't work. Also, molten metal melts plastic so the chip would be ruined!

Sorry, I should have read the thread. I definitely take one, probably two. Once resin, one metal, 2 bags. They look awesome!

Do you know what the final prices are, and when the sale thread will go up?

 

[Razorwing]

Re: The Force Awakens *Spoilers* Data Storage Device Star Wars *Spoilers*

depending on price I'll be interested in a metal + pouch.

SALE POST!
first post updated with this information, and I've converted this thread to a sale thread. please check the first post for the most updated information as some of this may have changed.
Ok, options are currently available:

Static versions:
Shapeways version: 3D printed in a variety of options, both metal and plastics, ships directly from Shapeways (no chip): prices range from $22-75 http://shpws.me/LnYP
Metal version cast in bronze with a patina applied (no chip): $70

Functioning version:
Cast resin with embedded NFC chip, functioning as seen in the video, sanded, painted weathered to look like metal, $45
(only 25 available in the first batch, as seen in photos I've already posted)

It's $5 shipping per order, or $12 if you're outside the USA. Shapeways has it's own shipping set up so you can choose your shipping options from them if you end up ordering that version.
payments@custom3dstuff.com for paypal

Pouches ready now are $22 and come with a brown leather lace, but no clasp.
Future pouches will be $25 and will come with clasp and lace. These will be available at the end of January

Notes:
NFC chips and come pre-programmed and only in the resin model. The chip is unlocked so if you know what you're doing you can reprogram it. The chip I'm using I had custom manufactured for a specific size, and to be waterproof so it doesn't get ruined in the liquid resin. It also is using the chip which is defined to be the standard for all NFC phones. some very old phones which support NFC may have been made before this standard was created. The chip I'm using will work on almost all Android phones as long as NFC is enabled in your settings. For a very well maintained list of phones that meet the standard and will work with this chip, check out this link. It won't work on iPhones since Apple has restricted the use of NFC solely for Apple Pay so they can take even more of your money. It'll still be cool to show off to your friends on their phones.

As you all know, it was hard to get a good look at the prop on screen, but we do have the VD model available to us. The lightly colored one with red painted squares seen in the VD doesn't have the same finish as the one we saw on screen, which was dark and metallic looking. As we get a better look at the screen used one, we may notice more details which I may incorporate into future revisions, and may not. I just wanted to put this out there. The models I'm currently offering were based on mostly the VD model's shape, and the screen used one's appearance.

The static plastic and functioning versions are both ready to ship. Static plastic Shapeways ones will never run out, functioning version I have 25 available now. Metal ones will be ready in about two weeks. I won't have clasps for the pouches until the end of the month either. If you pay and include payment for pouch with clasp, I'll hold your order until the clasps come in to ship it all at once. Your order will ship when everything you order is ready to be shipped. I'm not parting it out or making multiple shipments.

Please add up your total and send it to payments@custom3dstuff.com via paypal

No, I don't think so. It's really hard. I don't have a lot of room to work with.
