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.
Citizens United violates the essence of what made America a great country in its political system. Now it’s just an oligarchy, with unlimited political bribery being the essence of getting the nominations for president or to elect the president.
So now we’ve just seen a complete subversion of our political system as a payoff to major contributors, who want and expect and sometimes get favors for themselves after the election’s over.”
