If possible... I know this is kinda infringing... but I would like the cad drawings for a set. Just the paddles. OR someone can send me a set of paddles for 3D scanning. I would like to 3D print in carbon fiber with the light pipes in them so the + and - light up.

anyone?

We stopped making them because it was extremely difficult to get the machining right on the hole for the pins, and we ended up needing to use stronger springs, which some people complained about. If you can produce for us in Carbon this might be a possibility.

I can produce real carbon (not printed).

Got it, hopefully a carbon option works out! Also if there are any leftover sets lying around I would be happy to buy one as well.

Any movement on this?

Hey there! Just checking in to see if there was ever any additional movement on this. Guessing a deal never got done but wanted to confirm. Thanks!

I've offered several times to produce them in real carbon fibre epoxy (as opposed to flecks of CF suspended in 3d print filament, which is about the same strength/stiffness as a regular 3d print), but I never heard anything back from VAP so I didn't proceed with them. I also began modelling and printing proper magnetic shifters, but never got further than a concept.

How serious are you about the project? Do you have a budget in mind?

Feel free to PM if you like.
