I hadn’t noticed until you pointed it out… But now I am thinking of Mousse and am hungry.

They normally dig themselves in and only show the top, like this…

This is a rare sighting of you when you haven’t dug yourself in in the SimBox, right? ^^

Do you have a price tag in your mind already?

Cheers!

No, no price yet. It depends on how we are able to accomplish this. But it looks like the stick will be 3D printed. The idea is that the buyer can decide between plastic, reinforced plastic and metal.

Now that is rustling my jimmies

And the original is *checks notes and scrolls four hundred posts up* metal, right?

Do you intend on 3d printing and investment casting, or using some sort of sintering-and-infusion process?

I considered casting, but that would take a lot of time or cost a lot of money.
These days you can 3D print aluminium with a very high degree of precision.
The buttons, trigger and safety, can be produced in water jet cut aluminium, like the prototype above. The big issue is the handle itself.

This way I can let the buyer decide what the cost will be. You can even go for the plastic handle with aluminium buttons/trigger/safety, and then order an aluminium handle, if you like.

Yes, aluminium.
