    A clear grip frame...wild!

    I happened to take a random trip onto the Book of Faces and the algorithm spit this absolute wonder at me:

    Seems to me like it would a tad delicate for actual field use, but as a conversation piece it would definitely raise eyebrows in the staging area. Wonder how they did it.

    I think Skibba Rigged made the file for the frame. Someone bought the file and 3D printed it in clear resin. Maybe there are some tougher resins, but most of the ones I've deal with are pretty brittle. Definitely cool looking though.

      It reminds me of a jellyfish.

        Resin prints don't hold up well at all....

        I've wrecked two of my emek bodies I had done professionally when shapeways offered it.

        Looked amazing though

          This would be incredibly sick if it included the body. A fully seethru marker, I would pay good money for.

            I definitely would too, if it wasn't so delicate as to break the moment someone gave it a dirty look.

              I have his Emek LV2 frame. Its sturdy but it feels delicate in the hands. Im sure its all mental though... its held up very well.

                  Fair enough. Maybe there's something out there that could do it, but probably very expensive. That or you'd need to redesign.
