MicroX Thread

Any news?

I'll most likely get 3 valves if this goes thru.
If there will be a gun metal grey, one of each.
If not 2x black dust and one gloss...

No news. I got the art from PTP. I still need to make some calls about a couple things.

I just bought the spot that belonged to "i_love_paintball". I am in for gloss black. Have any decisions been made regarding the engraving? I was thinking something like the RT-Pro X-Valves with "MicroMag" over the X would look cool...

Forest sent me all of the existing PTP valve artwork, and they are working on getting me a sample of the gun metal gray :) so my guy can attempt to match it. I will see what I can come up with soon once my brothers wedding is out of the way.

There may be sale thread with a reverse X-valve up soon.

Since the box of Micromag pr0n got me all worked up, any news about the progress of the valves?

[BigEvil]

I'm glad to see that things are finally moving in the right direction. :)

A couple of things;

-Firstly, after thinking about this and looking at the images that ZoomZ posted of the body, I think I REALLY need to see a valve in one first before anything gets lasered. I would hate to go through all of this and NOT have the wording on the valve line up properly. (remeber the 10 o'clock X valves?). I might actually need to have a body in hand to send with the valves when they get lasered.

-Although technically this project was originally the "Micromag 2k9", I really don't think that should be the wording on the valve. I am leaning towards "Micro-X" in big letters with "by ProTeam Products" in smaller letters underneath it.

-Come to think of it, it might be a good idea to have a body first to also make sure the Z-lock pin is where it is supposed to be

-Im not sure if I mentioned this or not, but im working with my own laser guy on having the velocity adjusters lasered with the round PTP logo. Im going to send him one shortly to see how it comes out. The lasering should end up black, so Im hoping that this will turn out well.

-Forest was nice enough to provide me with some of the artwork that PTP used on their previous valves. However, I could really use a volunteer to assist me on this one. My photoshop skills are limited to E-thugary uses and im sure that there is someone who can do a better job than I can.

-Out of all of the places that I have dealt with for anno, there is only ONE that I trust to do these and apparently they seem to be taking their sweet time these days.

-Pricing: Still totally up in the air.


Did I miss anything?

- Good idea to wait until the bodies are finished. Wouldn't want to see something go wrong.

- I'll agree the Valves shouldn't be MM2k9 specific. I'd like to see a simple "Micromag" with a smaler "X-Valve" underneth it on them.
All the valves PTP did had in common that "Micromag" could be read on them, so i wouldn't want to change this...

- Photoshop: I'd be willing to help out. I'll pm you my e-mail right away

- Price: The last thing i'm concerned with. Since i'll have a bit more time to secure funds for this than i'd originally feard...

Good to hear there's still progress. I'd rather run a plain X for a while and be sure that the branded valve is 100% than have you rush them out and risk wonky lasering or some other issue.

Wait, what? I missed this. Any chance of buying just a lasered velocity adjuster?

That should be easy :)

Just Let us know more when the time comes.

What does this mean ?
This part (custom valve) will have to wait till you get your body so theres no mistakes ?
Any way for you to get one temporarily and just send it back after you get the particulars ?

After waiting for over a year for these bodies, I won't be taking any chances that the lasering wont line up properly.
