    Iv'e contacted a few machinist, DocsMachine wanted me to send the parts, on a as he has time, sounds like he is too busy. I am looking for firm commitment/timeline for completed work. Another is moving his shop to a new facility and said he can do it soon. Two others did not have a lathe to do the work. I was just referred to a local machinist and I will go over there this week. If none of that works out, I'll be making some on a drill press.

        I'd be in for 1 as well. As asked a few post back is the power consumption compatible with the E1, E2, and Sci-Fi?

            only if you have the tools and knowhow. This is different than the old SP/DYE noids you are familiar with. It's rated for millions of cycles and we should not see much lube build up like a spool valve marker - since only source would be the LPR, so be smart with that and you should be good.

          Still waiting on a machinist to move his shop, he said he can take on the work. My friend is producing the CAD for me now. Crickets from Doc

                Definitely interested as well, depending on cost I'd love to add something like this to my playing options.

                  Are you talking about the Bullet Valve from MAC? I am also doing a solenoid, also based around the MAC bullet but using the 3 way bullet as a pilot valve for a proper 5 way.Click image for larger version

                    that looks expensive to machine, but really dope.

                    very cool will be fun to see when you are finished! I chose a different solenoid, it will look and match a mech 3way dimensions and aesthetic

                  This 3 way could be the key for getting a new build

                      good, there is a CAD model and we have a 3d printed prototype. Metal prototype should come soon. There were some tolerance issues with the rear threads, so the design changed a little to allow for more strength.

                        Machined prototype is complete and in the mail.
