little 3d sub machines
They do seem a bit Mickey Mouse, but then again for the price they can not be that bad. Ideal for a dabble, when you think that an absolute minimum profit on a 3D is about £5.00 you soon get your money back. One thing that puts me off is that I think I saw somewhere that they come with a spare handle. That scares me because its almost admitting that the build quality is iffy.

no worried about build quality, its actuall good n sturdy....the handles do take a lot of abuse getting the thing in / out all the time, and i can see it being a stress point....
and they aint expensive to replace

they come with lot of spares lol, pump, silicon sheet, circuit board ect....

wise to buy them all if buying one of these, as justin says, "they are new tech", and new tech in my eyes tends to bugger up till they get the niggles sorted

only thing that p*** me off, is taking the tray in/out, its a hell of a racket, clang, clang, clang.....esmorelda...the bells :tongue: but thats just me being a picky ass lol

I actually really like how that turned out, but I'm a sucker for the post-apocalyptic 'wasteland' feel. If you'd been making this case for me and it was supposed to have been solid colour, I'd have been really chuffed!

I also had problems getting the S3 and S4 to stay in shape so I always (and still do) hold the edges tight against the facia while I dip them into water and hold on to them for just a few seconds before taking them out. It really is a pain, but I've found that I don't waste quite so many doing it this way. Part of my problem was that I was mis-sold S3 jigs as being for the S4 so all my S4 cases were buckled or bent. Rectified that when I replaced the jigs with dedicated S4 ones.
