Very interested! I'm planning on cleaning up a M0118 I've gotten recently, and I'll need to open all the switches because they're scratchy as hell (salmon ALPS).

I'd be more than happy to make one for you. :D

Hmm, shame there's not more interest, but I guess I really can't compete with the appeal Mr.Bishop's CNC'd design. I was so excited to share the design too and then boom, I see someone else already has, hahaha.

If there was more interest, I'd run a group buy for these. For now, I'll just have to use what I've got to make a few for anyone interested.

Thanks, awesome! (Just PM me how much $ and a paypal address.)

Yea, I know the feeling (finally pulled the trigger on making my own 45% ALPS PCB + plates, order things, and a week later boom, JD45 GB ;)

I'll be probably getting MrBishop's CNC'd tool as well, but I really like your "DIY"-feel ;)

Right, so this is a long shot, but could you possibly scan or photograph the profile of the tool so that it's possible to model it in 3D? I'm interested in trying to create a printable version of it since there apparently wasn't any interest in a GB. :)

Mr Bishop might be willing to help you out.
“These economic royalists complain that we seek to overthrow the institutions of America. What they really complain of is that we seek to take away their power."
He paused for a moment, then thundered, “Our allegiance to American institutions requires the overthrow of this kind of power!”
“In vain,” Roosevelt said, “they seek to hide behind the Flag and the Constitution. In their blindness they forget what the Flag and the Constitution stand for. Now, as always, they stand for democracy, not tyranny; for freedom, not subjection; and against a dictatorship by mob rule and the over-privileged alike.”
- Franklin Roosevelt 1933
