Wow...first off Happy New Year. I have read and heard great things about you. Glad to see you are back and hopefully able to stay for awhile. Your contributions are discussed quite a bit among 986ers. So from a newbie...thank you. Hope you can provide some cool new projects.

-Richard.

Thanks for the kind wishes, Richard. Same goes to you and your love ones, HNY2020!!!
I'll see if I can pull-off a few new ideas, hopefully with your help and the others. Dying too trust me on that, can't lie

ps. seen your projector's post earlier too. I took yesterday's time off to re-model the bezel (same, just newer CAD data/software) and added a snap-ring for the lens (internal feature). Nothing too fancy but sort of making them more reliable and hopefully more affordable to manufacture. Still trying to figure out who/when/where can we cnc those parts though :/ I swear I already have that bad feeling its going to me lol

haha, the SkyBreaker. Yup that was a good one! Those fumes when cutting that pmma were, like, best LSD-like ever lol Good memories. I still got a dozen coated panels here and might let them go eventually not sure why I keep them here in all honesty, kinda weird in fact. Let's see man...

Thanks for the quick note, looking forward seeing you around Ben

Fred,

I PM'd you about this, but you probably have at least a dozen or so PMs built up... I'm down for a SkyBreaker as well, if you have enough.

Best,
Troy

Msg received. Counting you in, Troy! Just counted the coated panels and I got 9 (nine) left, was sure I had 12 :/ Strange...
