AES-style MVS replacement shells preview

[shadowkn55]

shadow, can we get a template or dimensions, so I can make my own stickers?

Until, I can get a template made up, the dimensions are 98mmx98mm with 2.5mm corner radii.

These are really nice. Can you show a picture of the latest protos in an Omega?

I've never really printed a cart sticker before.. how easy would this be to do without it looking like ass? Laminate it?

This is one of the pictures I included in the kickstarter.

Without professional equipment, your best bet is sticky photo paper. I used a vinyl printer with lamination to make the three sample labels.

Link?

 

[shadowkn55]

Where?

It's still in the approval queue. It should be live in a couple days if all goes smoothly.

It's wonderful ideas like this that have been making me think more about getting into MVS as well. Actually... I've been wanting an MVS, but I've not yet found one that was worth the price.

Wow I now see what XX meant with "flowing with the Omega". Nice work, these really work together perfectly now!

To me it doesn't flow with the Omega. I think it's mostly due to the fact that the proto has sharp corners where the Omega has some nice rounded corners

Beautiful. Going to order at least 10!

98mm x 98mm with 2.5mm radius corners.

Thank you

$15 which is around £11...

Is international [UK] shipping gonna be killer?!

Probably yes, would be good to show the shipping cost in the kickstarter. That was shown in the gcw zero kickstarter so there was no hesitation in buying for international folk.

This looks to the the Kickstarter page for the project

So 3 days to go nowhere near the goal.. will this project not come to fruition if the target amount isnt met?

No

 

[shadowkn55]

Probably not. I can't commission a mold for only a few hundred pieces unless you want to pay more than $30 a piece for them.

 

[Thamiel]

It's an absolute shame, I was hanging to replace my MVS shells with these. Maybe try building some capital through other projects? Sticks for the Omega springs to mind...

 

[Jonny l3lanka]

Even at 30 dollars I might be tempted in 2 or 3... Even if just for the first 3 slugs!!

 

[SNKorSWM]

It looks like the demand is only about 250 cart shells according to the kickstarter page.

 

[shadowkn55]

I had a quite a bit more than that when I was only asking for soft commitments. It didn't translate well into actual preorders when it came down to it.

I'll keep it all on standby until it's ready for prime time. All the engineering and prototyping work is done so it won't be long until actual shells come out from the moment it's green lighted.

So what does this mean? Are we still going to be able to order them but at slightly higher prices?

 

[hyper]

give it time,

there should be enough demand worldwide for these to be a success

can't wait!

 

[Jonny l3lanka]

Yes you definitely have some people interested here that's for sure. Lets hope we can all get our hands on some.

 

[Bar81]

Probably not. I can't commission a mold for only a few hundred pieces unless you want to pay more than $30 a piece for them.

There are some of us who would not find that unpalatable.
