Hey Fam, thank for your well wished!
We are back home and safe.
Time this past two days was eaten up by taking family and friends back and forth to the airport only to have their flights delayed, delayed and cancelled then having to situate them with a rental car.
Anywho enough of that sob story, I am still waiting on delivery of replacement screws and also extra magnets as the 2x1mm one that go into the chassis flipped way to easy so I ordered a bunch of 2x2 instead which will make assembly much easier for the control box area
Regarding the grip darkening services it will be between 35-45$.
Each main grip will need to be thoroughly cleaned with degreaser, rinsed, then dipped in diluted aluminum black, then rinsed then dryed, then "dry polished" which basically just going back and forth with micro fiber cloths.
I am waiting for the consumable for this to arrive so that the sample I show is as accurate to what is received.
I have a ton of aluminum black but I needed the other consumable, shop towels, micro fiber, degreasing toweled and applicator cloth/cotton.
Should have more to report Thursday or Friday.
Crystal chambers and plastic crystals are on their way from shapeways, obviously just delayed from all the weather mishaps but they are in transit
