Made my own Eclipse nubbin detents

[Iseeo_0you]

Decided to make my own mold and cast my own detents in lime green with soft rubber. Tired of black goo in my markers after they sit for a while.

Those are cool! Now my PE’s will live forever.

Mannnnn....I just bout a handful online! Would've loved to give ya some business, these look cool 😎

Yay! I do think PE will stick with this design long enough that if they were ever to switch it would get some good 3rd party support. I have seen some semi-circle designs on ebay. These look great!

Yes at this point the detents are a two decade legacy

The one odd year was the 05 ego

[Iseeo_0you]

Are you selling them?

[Iseeo_0you]

I can if you're interested. I have a couple hundred of them sitting here 😂. I just figured people weren't interested.

Couple hundred? Wow. I'm interested in buying some. How do they last compared to OEM? And how much for a bag of 10-20ish shipped within the US?

Hey there, the lifespan of any detent varies depending to the conditions it's under during normal use, so I'm cautious to claim they will last longer. They may last longer for someone under different conditions than some one else. That being said, these replacement detents are manufactured using a Polyether-based polyurethane elastomer which offer a few advantages over the stock material. It has better flexibility, oil resistance, excellent elastic recovery, abrasion & tear resistance, as well as resistance to hydrolysis (melting into goo) in comparison to the stock material. It had almost zero deformation in a 6 month compression set and has a couple thousand cycles through it with no visible wear/tearing before my solenoid started acting up. As far as pricing I could do like $25 shipped for 20 of them. Fees and shipping are insane

[tyronejk]

Nice, you clearly know what you're doing and thought this through. I can do $25 for a bag of 20. I'll shoot you a PM.

Another question: how did you mold these? Did you machine molds from aluminum/steel? Or 3d print the molds?
