I must say, I am starting to get pretty excited about this bizarre little thing. Caught myself thinking of what -else- could be added to it to make it even more multifunctional. All that aside, though, maybe tomorrow (well, later today, that is) I'll have half an hour to sit down and plan my options and tritium placement (wonder if there are enough tritium vials to fill every slot?)

I also have to figure out how to calculate the deposit I owe so I can pay for it...

Thanks for doing this, S. It's really something else.

Goodness Sake! If you pick every slot for me to put a Trit in....
I think i'll be sitting in front of my mill for a week :eek:
Well, Not that it's a bad thang...:whistle:

it'll be so bright on just tritium, you'll never need to turn the led on! :crackup:
 
Sabrewolf,

Please put me back on the list. Job prospects are looking fairly reasonable and I'm selling extra "stuff" to fund this.

Let's go for;

MC-E in Warmwhite ($425)
Pure Blue glow powder
8 gb microSD card ($21)
Camera tripod mount ($15)
Trit Slot ($10 each - $30) - 3 (as I have them on-hand) - locations 1, M, P)
Custom Satin Finish with polished edges $25

total $516 - now to finish the funds gathering...

Re: Chimera Mini Pre-Pay Sale /clip

The prototype money clip/ belt clip should be ready for pictures next week.
It will resemble the HDS/Novatac Clips, But much wider to accommodate

I was wondering how wide the clip might have to be, and thought perhaps *two* of McGizmo's universal titanium clips might work (side by side) ?

It is the top in this picture from the Shoppe:

Although I'm not sure if a COTS solution would make the project easier, just thought I'd toss the idea out there.

Cheers,

Mark

Don't Worry, I have something special planned for the clip :devil:
The prototype pics should be up this week :thumbsup:
Ohh, The metal thickness on the clip will make it REALLY Strong :tinfoil:
 
I have another Suprise in the works :devil:





Can you guess what it is?

I'll give you a hint... "SUN" :whistle:
 
you've got to be kidding...
I'm still trying to catch up on the possible trit slots and clip options, and now there's more cool features I could add?

...and that's got to be the most "frankenstein" looking mad-scientist pic I've seen on cpf so far.
:bow: :tinfoil:
 
You know, I would like to know why you're charging us $50 to not polish/bead blast the machining marks out. If you say 'cash grab' I'll respect that (especially in the shitty economy), hell, I'll respect anything that's a straight answer. (Edit: Straight answer provided; I thought the finish was the tool marks not being sanded off. Instead, they're applied with a grinder, requiring a good bit of machining. My bad.) Unfortunately, cool as this thing is, getting a Milky custom Roomsweeper is about half the price right now - which makes me really sad, because this thing is unbearably cool.

Did you guys also do the math? 28 tritium slots times $15/per = $420. Yikes. :D

Edit: which finish would most closely match the Macbook Pro? Will satin aluminum ever be an option?

The "Machining Marks" are part of the look. It takes alot of work to pull that finish off :)
No Cash Grab here my friend. And each light has a very unique finish. It even has a very
nice feel to it. Kind of like an old wornout guardrail. It sounds bad, But you have to "Feel"
it to believe it. I can Closely match the macbook finish on the Aluminum version when i
start that sale up.
