- I'm still a relatively new GB runner, does anyone know if its kosher to run two GB even if its the same type of product, same manufacturer, but for different boards?
UPDATE:Great!!!! How about engravings? Maybe you can make hangul engravings, like in Korean Orion gb?
The prototype has been built! It should be arriving early this week!

I'm open to any design submissions! I'll put it up on a poll. In the Octagon V2 Weight GB, a lot of people bought blank plates with the intention of bringing it to a local engraver to have them put on their own custom design. I wasn't willing to provide everyone their own unique one of a kind engraving.
Thanks E3E, it should be in the mail and get to you by next week at the latestNo no no.....
This thread hasn't gotten as much traction as the black bird one has, I hope its not an indication of lack of interest.
UPDATEGreat news :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:
I have received word that E3E has received my weight. Stay tuned for his updates!
Current Issues:Not sure, but I can measure my V1 if you want.
- The CAD file has no engraving, if people want an engraved option, I'm going to need someone to propose one
- Does the Orion V1 have the same cavity? Can anyone confirm? That way I can offer it to more people, order more materials in bulk and have it cheaper for everyone.
Thanks E3E, that's awesome! Did the screws sit flush? Were you able to put your keyboard together and use it without the weight coming into contact with it? I'm curious as the 3 mm was a guess on my part. The Octagon V2 was 3 mm, so I assumed Duck would follow the same thickness for all his keyboards. I was right on the Black Bird too, so its looking I'm right on the Orion.
Do you know anyone who is as reliable as you and has a V1? We could forward it to them as well. I can pay for shipping. Just don't do international please LOL.
JaccoW that would be great if you could measure the crevice! I'm not going to say for sure it fits until I see one in a V1 crevice but measurements are a step in the right direction
E3E, thanks for the quick reply. Just a point of clarification, are you saying that your Orion shipped with extra screws for a weight insert?

Sorry for the now late response, but no. I had an extra set of screws with my Orion v2. It came with double the amount of smaller screws due to complaints from the first 30 orders that screws for the lower profile bottom (flat acrylic) were not provided for.
So no, I was just using the same mounting screws from the GB. They should be the same exact size and length as the screws used for the Octagon v2 weight.
Also, working out things with the tester for the v1.
Great looking logo, by the way!

Probably cheaper since I live in Europe. :PThanks E3E, that's awesome! Did the screws sit flush? Were you able to put your keyboard together and use it without the weight coming into contact with it?

Just shipped the plate to MrRooks. :(
We can at least compare the dimensions from the files though. I do believe they're the same just at a glance.

So no problem. :thumb:
EDIT: So that's why he contacted me about those acrylic plates. :rolleyes:
It fits the v1 nicely!Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/Sx73OKj.jpg)Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/s05SPCx.jpg)
Ahh perfect. Thank you very much you two for doing this. I smell a GB coming along soon. =)

This will probably allow to increase volume of the order and will reduce the final price for all, but for you it can turn into hell. Just thinking, don't even participate in this GB
I thought about doing the Eagle/Viper as well, but I figure if someone has all three boards they would want to get all 3, and it can get pricey. (I say this knowing full well that some have asked me to quote a tungsten weight...crazy people). With the holidays in full swing I want to lower the financial hit and also the hellish coordination on my end of things lol.Tungsten, let's make it gold))) :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:
On a GH official note, I'm only allowed to run up to 2 GBs simultaneously. The Eagle/Viper would put me at 3. I don't believe I even have enough street cred to argue with any moderators to give me special privileges. Speaking of street cred, I do want to up my "successful" GB count. By running them at different times, I can achieve that.
E3E, you could sell yours and market it as "artisan hand crafted", as opposed to my crude factory made unit.
E3E and MrRooks, can you comment on how heavy it is? For example, did the inclusion of it make the keyboard feel better, or if you think its purely an aesthetic piece? I ask because the Black bird piece was super light and it was actually the first thing my test fitting volunteer mentioned (this is also what sparked the tungsten questions). E3E how did it compare to your artisan limited edition hand crafted copper weight?
