      Okay guys after much thought, I have decided that I will only sell these as artistic pieces, I am an artist not an engineer like Tom. I have no idea if these would stand up to the daily beatings of players. I also would feel awful if anyone were to get hurt using these frames, not to mention I don't want to get sued


      So they will be sold as I said as artisitc piece in a limited batch. I am not including the working parts, such as the trigger or saftey mechanism. It is a piece of art you don't need them.

      I will sell each of them for $100 they will be signed and numbered and a tag included not for use. $100 is a base price for logo's added or dyeing. This price does not include specialty items.

      If you are interested please email me.

      Thanks

          Future if you buy and enhance with the working parts,yourself that is up to you. I am not providing them. As I said I don't want to be resposible if it breaks.

            Good thinking Heather, we wouldn't want anything bad to happen our best source for custom grips now would we?

            Or yourself of course.

                  That is really cool how you did that... But, I dont have $100 for a Warp much less a piece of art... but keep it up... Maybe if you have fun with art and put sticks of metal in there it will work... You never know...

                    Very intresting! You did a great job making the grip, very very unique! :)

                    I never would have thought to put M&M's in 'em though. Did you have problems with them melting a bit?

                        Nice work Heather, are you making them from a silicon rubber tool? Looks good!

                        If you are using some of the polycarbonate resins I don't see why it wouldn't be strong enough to get some use out of...

                        Used to make concept car bits this way. Still deal with a lot of rapid prototyping techniques.

                          Thanks Manike, that means a lot coming from yourself

                          I am using a urethane rubber with a urethane resin. It is rock solid but I don't want to be resposible for any accidents that should incure from inproper use....I like my house to much : )

                          PM me if you would like one.

                          I do use silicone for other molds but it doesn't take the punishment from mutiple use and tears. The urethane is pretty durable.

                          Thanks again

                          Heather

                            M&M's... they melt in your mouth, not in your Z-grip!

                              Don't they make bowling balls out of urethane resin? Pretty hard stuff. And hey, the greater the rotational speed the better it will grip the lane and.....oh wait...it's a grip frame. Duh.
