Cool stuff in this forum I've been missing out on. Nice work Bapgood!
I've been tinkering by way of some graphics/engineering help from a friend and the 3D printing makes for very reasonable mods, price wise not all that much really.

Just last night I gave Plastic Dip rattle can a go on a print I manged to smudge up some. It gives the print a rubberized feel like an eGo battery but we'll have to see how it holds up over time.
As soon as I catch up with priorities I'll be re-installing a DNA 40 into this print which is the first print we have had done and we've made some alterations for users to our designs that are in the process of being printed now.
 
It's a total of four different prints we have going through the printing process now, two full mod prints of different types and two parts prints I plan to use for color alteration of buttons and such. We should be able to open our shop soon, if all goes well with these prints. What were doing is a modular design that has 20 parts for variations in builds modders might like and in these 20 parts are also prints for complete plastic parts for mods.

Some of the metal parts we're still working on pulling together to make the mods easier for those who don't have metal fab capabilities but it's coming together.

I got through some priorities and the plastic spray was dry so I put the DNA 40 back in today.
Here's a pic.


No tools needed for battery changes, our last print is a little better than this one.
Now I gotta go play with taxes next.

Update:
I wouldn't bother with the plastic spray on 3D prints, mine is already pealing. Maybe the prime I didn't use could make a difference but it has yet to be seen.

have you thought about copper plating, you can get conductive paint to plate plastic parts.

I'm not exactly sure how they do things through Shapeways, maybe the exterior could be coated through them. I should have tried this after a coat of primer but it's really no big deal, these mods are very easy to take apart and put back together again.

Thank you!  ;cheers;

i think the conductive paint can be used on most surfaces, but it needs a primer for glass. from what i see its just a mater of painting, letting it dry then copper coat as normal.
