    Here's what I have been working on as of late.

    Ladies and Gents,... I give you the V.E.R Frame

      I don't think this is being designed to work as an EP frame. I think this goes back to the Devilmag frames and is being designed as a pancake noid type frame. Still is nice to see a frame specifically designed for an electronic frame other than the E-mag.

        This frame can be used for a bunch of things really.

        Designed to be used for whatever you want in a 90 degree frame.

        The side milling has been done,... were working on the top Monday.

            Boards = $50
            Solenoid = $50
            Frame cost = TBD

            Then again you dont NEED the board or solenoid,.. it will work as a mechanical frame

            All depends on the number of guys who send deposits in.
            If I do 20+ frames,... cost will be close to if not under a Devil Mag frame price of $450

            All depends on number of frames ordered.

            I was trying to get away from a pre-order,.. but deposits for frame materials are going to be required.

              That looks like an awful lot of meat to ULE out of the frame if you wanted to Pneu it instead of electro it. It does look like a very nice frame with some great possibilities though. Keep up the good work, we ballers need more of projects like this in the market place.

                If you look at the proto-type sitting at 80% and then you look at the Solid Works pictures above those,.. you can see the frame has:

                Trigger Guard Milling on the front.....
                Membrane Pad milling on the back.......
                All the top milling,.....

                ,.. to be done.

                I dont know how Pneumaging this frame would work to be honest with you. I was trying to fill the pneumag needs with another frame after this one,... and I already have a model 50% done on it.

                It takes alot of work to get the things you really need in a frame to work right,... took a while to figure everything out with the electronics.

                    I like the vert frame, but it's not yet as sexy as the airwalk. That makes a tough choice between your frames.

                    I haven't played with vert frames much, but my eye keeps hanging on the bottom of the trigger guard. Aesthetically and functionally, it's a important area. If you haven't already, you might consider matching a larger radius on the frame, making a little more of a curve than an angle there.

                    Ever since I held a PB superbolt frame, I'm skeptical of new trigger guards in general.

                      Well the radius that you have circled there is a .13" radii. I used this one for high speed milling. Most of the radii on frames use this radius. It was a cost thing.

                      Personally,.. I dont like larger trigger guards on frame like the UMF. The thing that gets me about the UMF is I can walk my trigger with my ULT and I have no idea why. Which says alot about the UMF and its appeal to a player like myself that doesnt have the need for gloves and larger trigger guards.

                      I will say this. The trigger guard in humble respect to the UMF is smaller in horizontal distance. I chose to move it toward the center point of the frame not because I didnt like larger trigger guards, but because of the ditance you had to spread your palm and fingers around the grip and across the the trigger into the trigger guard. I looked really hard at the Angel IR3 vert frame and took some design concepts WDP used. The part I decided to change was the upper shape of the back of the grip as well as the distance that the finger and knuckle had to be set on the side of the panels in order to bend your finger and get inside the trigger guard as well as tap the trigger. The result of those measurements is what you see in the design. Could I have gone more into the palm? Yes,... but my hands are not huge, and they arent small either. So I stuck with what I was happy with.

                            Although I'm not a fan of the 90* frames, I like how you have incorporated multiple ideas into it. The user has a multitude of ways to personalize it. Good job.
