Got mine installed last night. Excellent mod. Easy to install, killer value, and looks great!

Quoted from PinMonk:

Thanks! Initially I thought I'd just print a bunch and ship them out, underestimating the amount of time to print each one and especially the time to populate each one with lenses. It's been much more popular than I expected, even after I had to bump the price. Glad everyone seems to like it.

This is how nearly every mod ends up for me (often times having to bump the price as well, and occasionally going nights without sleep to make deadlines I set). And on some of mine, it's incredibly disheartening to have an 18+ hour print fail 14 hours in (while most of my large mods have been very popular, some do scoff at pricing, but anyone that has done 3D design and printing knows what really goes into some of it [weeks of design/redesigns, failures, printer repairs, each print during production...] before the circuits, paint, film inserts [in your case], etc. go into it)...

I knew immediately you were shorting yourself on this mod $19.99 + $4.99 shipping is where I would have started. Not complaining that I got in on the early pricing though All of my friends dig the upgrade

Quoted from PinMonk:

The prints aren't so bad (very few failures, knock on wood), but the lenses and process of inserting five per frame and now gluing 10 dots, 2 per color, as well for a little extra protection against careless fingers punching the lenses out of their slots. It all takes time, and I didn't realize how much until I was doing it. I think this is pretty close to right now. I may raise it another couple dollars for the gluing time, but I'll see how it goes.

I actually hadn't noticed the film was being glued in. One of my inserts was loose on arrival, but it held in fine on its own when placed back in.

Very rarely do my small prints fail once dialed in, but the large prints (LDG for example goes through a full 25% of a spool) find ways to get a clogged nozzle, or the dreaded spool jam that drags the whole computer unit (CR10) over to the main frame...of course meaning the nozzle is likely inches above where the print failed (when unmonitored too long). Unfortunately there's no fail-safe on any of my machines :/ But now I'm derailing the thread...or...free bump! haha
