Are you having problems with your Paypal Mohrenberg? I have attempted to pay twice now but I get a message saying that your account is not "Eligible to receive payment" :S
I just attempted again.. And now it says that my account is not verified for transactions exceeding $1000 :S I only tried to send $70 so I have no idea why it is freaking out.
Damn, I really want these hosts! I will try again tomorrow, hope you still have 2 left then!
Im using a standard 50mw o-like module.. I had to sand/grind the inside a bit to fit it, but it works just fine, I'll take another host off your hands Mohrenberg...
arenard, i will let eb know about that and have him sand them down a bit to fit better on the next batch..
Right now i am trying my (with almost no luck) to find reatining rings with threads to use to lock these switch down.
I thought and presented the idea of just drilling an 11mm hole (same size as switch) and press fitting it into the tail cap. machinist thought that was a bad idea....but i don't think he qwuite understood what i was talking about....i'm going to try to explain it better to him next time.
Boosted - Yours were sent in the mail this morning....i had to change the city and zip in order for it to let me print your label....lol...i map quested both though, they seem to be the same place.....strange.

i was going to order the o-rings and switches today but bestofferbuy's "weight" fr the switches is completely wrong and they were going to charge me $60 for EMS shipping....i sent them a message to fix it so hopefully i can order them tomorrow.
Mohrenberg , I am going to get another one from you.. i hope it fits a cni pen module. .
Can you please hold one for me until friday ?
also about the switch , what i found out is that the connection from the switch to the host was the culprit , it a bit loose and didn't make a full connection and so didnt provide the positive part of the loop , a little bit of tweaking got it working without a hitch..
Some pics of my build , for others to see it in green. . i took the aperture from a broken pen and attached it to the front...
I've got 5 left (2 reserved).
I ordered more switches and some green, red, blue, and black o-rings EMS for the new design..
I am "hoping" to go out to the machine shop and see if i can get him to turn one out with the new design....
I am also going to try to work out the switch problem by having him just drill an 11mm hole for it to sit into.....
he doesn't like this idea cause then it could potentially pop out, but if the hole is drilled to the correct sit it will press fit in just fine i think.....and the two tabs on the side of the switch would never lose contact.....
Well i wont be needing that other host afterall , the 125mw module i just got from another member , that he got from another member after he was originally sent the wrong item, ended up being TEM01/03 nowhere near 125mw, and dimmed out to almost nothing ... so its useless to me..
Apparently I have reached my limit for this month and my credit card is not verified so I can only make transactions through google checkout if you have that.
And Primary.. I don't see the point in him making that design since it is already sold by dark_horse http://darkhorsecustom.com/kits/sliver-kit
Only thing.. there seem to be problems with the host.
Yes I do really like the sliver host design and it would be awesome to one day have a custom host with more or less that design.. but for now I think Mohrenberg should focus on one request at a time, and the current idea of o-ring cuts along the body and a finned head with thinner fins the same diameter as the body is pretty sweet.
Matt - if you have a bench grinder, Harbor Freight has polishing wheel kits w/compound, etc for about $15, that would make the polishing go really fast and easy (worst case, buy a $20 bench grinder from them too) .... Just a thought!
