I decided to make some colours available for the 3D-printed parts of the Composite series:
- Composite Parallax Wheels: 80mm round, 125mm and 150mm DualCore (round centered/excentric), 225mm effective diameter comma wheel.
- Composite Click Turret: 54 mm oversized turret, resettable without tool, wit or without bottoming ring.
- Composite Zoom Lever: stylish and handy zoom lever.
- All three in a bundle on a reduced price: Composite Scope Kit
Traditionally, I use black for my accessories, but Orange and Intense Green are available any time, and a couple of other colours can be arranged, too:
The colour option can be added to the products among the other options, on the links above.
About the markings on the photo. I don’t recommend to write directly onto the coloured parts, as the material is kind of porous and you won’t be able to remove the markings entirely. I did this:
– Put a transparent cellotape around the wheel / turret
– Write the markings with a permanent marker
– Put another layer of cellotape around it (this is needed as even the permanent marker may wear off in the use)
I’m considering to add these colours to the new Scorpion MK5 FT Hook, too. It would be something like this, coloured base plate and thumb screw(s). A fully red or green Scorpion wouldn’t look as good as it is in black, but only a few parts in colour could look cool:
Talking about colours, see also the SmartPin Colour experimental project, this is a bit different but can be interesting, too:
