The Pro size vs the Civilian size. Should start shipping the Wicker Daddy in a few days, just settling in on a color way 😘

So if you shipping in from somewhere outside of EU enforcement reach (like china) there's no enforcement with actual teeth at all so this will have zero impact on foreign drop shoppers flooding their market with trash. If anything it will disadvantage the small, environmentally friendlier, companies

Details too small / intricate for traditional masking get painted with flex seal, which is peeled off later.

A decade of perfecting this craft looks like being able to pick out shining gloss accents on every single ring and bracelet across an increadibly complex, satin finished, master with not a single spot of printer texture. 😍😍😍

You could see if someone like TKB could match to a screen grab of the video? This, and everything im playing with for the next few weeks, I got by physically going to a factory to see what the Chinese domestic market looks like compared to what we have available through export.

Ive got a full kilo im going to bag up for everyone because I dont think the export stuff we usually see for sale is the same quality as whats produced for the domestic market and I dont think anyones going to fly into Bao'an and take a Didi to get more anytime soon 😂

Testing out hypershift pigment from the same manufacturer I visited for the purple shimmer. 💙💜❤️🧡

Looking at how these samples are coming out - flying halfway around the world to meet manufacturers in person and REALLY let them know what we need in a pigment was 100% worth it.

It would be absolutely hilarious to use that pump head for pc cooling bc god help you if it ever got clogged with the kind of pressure it builds

Pumping AND metering viscous fluids is a PITA. Silicone doubly so since most tubing is either damaged by the silicone or leaches into the silicone (inhibiting it). Also please ignore the terrible 3d print. Im using up very old and wet PLA for the POCs.

I think I've got an actually affordable way to auto measure and pump silicone where the wetted path is all Stainless/Aluminum/Viton/Polypropylene.

Bit late to be helpful now but if you're near a Pack & Send their rental mailboxes have a physical address that I believe will work with FedEx. Our equivalent (PostNet and UPS Stores) works at least.

Oh gosh I am so sorry 😞 I talked to Scott at length a couple of times during live streams and he was one of the shop owners that helped me keep my faith in this community.

Two part hard mold but mostly working on getting the right strength of magnets for a good closure and the right type of key to keep the parting line nearly invisible.
