Now back to 3Dx... what kind of screws are those that you're using on the canopy? I found something similar (from the knight 3D) but they hit the canopy and not the grommets.


Hi Bud:

The canopy is custom made, with bigger bore.

Ok, I hate you too!


ROTFL


Now seriously 3Dx... isn't this a market opportunity for you? I mean... there isn't one thumb screw that fits the vibe 50 canopy. Not even the JR ones fit... why dont you make some and sell them?

I even have the design and measuraments. Only need a guy with a CNC to make a prototype and test it

Hahahaha you Guys are funny! LMAO!!!

Ok Guys, Raul (The World class canopy Artist) promised me this time he will paint canopies not only for local market, so be prepared!!!!

I will be the prototype guy; he will send me 4 different canopies designs so I take pics and post them for-you…….yes FOR FREE!!!

So hate me more please!!!!


You may remember some of his work:



About making some 3Dx products will be impossible this time; my bottle business is using the CNC´s 24/7 at this time.

About your design Tony send it to me, if it’s no so complicated I will do it for free for my Friends that hate me!!! (No Kidding)

Inkspot,

Have you tried the new Synergy thumbscrews? I tried my old ones last night and the grommet hole is too small for anything larger than the 3mm screw. My old Synergy thumb screws were modified with a small piece of brass tube over part of the 3mm screw and it was too thick. I'm wondering if the hole could be reamed out a little so larger grommets like the Synergy or Knight could be used.

Alek,

How is the visibility with that one? I was looking at it but I think I need more neon yellow to aid visibility and orientation.

I already knew that Inkspot. NONE is a perfect fit without mods. I'm sending the specs I found to work to 3Dx. Maybe he gets some free time.

The outer diameter of the thumbscrews can't go over 10mm or it will hit the canopy.

I'm using M.A. canopy screws, they fit perfect and look outstanding.

without touching the canopy itself? I.e. under 10mm width?
