    I think he might be referring to proxy services maybe? I could be entirely wrong. With a proxy service shipping (jpn domestic and international), service fees) would probably average about 60$ ontop of the jpn pbandai msrp of 28600 jpnyen (lets say about $265 US). In total that would come out to about what bluefinbrands starting price is $325 (before state tax if this applies to you, for most it does like me $30+ NYstate tax). Along with their horrible shipping (even with the requested service of padding out and someone like me who doesn't mind paying the extra shipping cost, they still deny) this makes bluefinbrands the less desirable choice. Oh and my example of padding out a shipment was for my $1020 MS Nu which they refused to. The brown shipper box was scuffed up, dented and smushed... thanks to the horrible NY shipping handlers and luckily nothing was damaged. But overall I wouldn't mind giving my money to a service overseas that wouldn't mind padding out my items for a few extra dollars rather than lining their own pockets. edit: I wouldn't have mind if the shipping cost came up to an additional $50 for my MS Nu... fkn hell I already dished out 1020 >.>. Same logic would apply for this eva 01 mb movie ed. I'm sure if I submit a request they'll bs me and politely say no and my stuff will still arrived fkd. I would probably do a cc chargeback if they denied my request to cancel.

    I'm still wondering if the pbandai US site will even put up a listing (seeing as they don't list/never listed any metal builds prior iirc), but hey there's always a first right?
  3. PsYcHoDyNaMiX
    Just out of curiosity has anyone ever cancelled a pre-order with Bluefinbrands before or had any issues?
  4. PsYcHoDyNaMiX
    Ooo thanks.

    Where'd you see a 2nd batch announcement? I checked their page and there's no indication of a 2nd run on the item page (even with the translation). https://p-bandai.jp/item/item-1000144534/

    Damn that is a $picy meatball! Thanks for the link. Been scouting BFB's twitter and fb page the last day cause FJ couldn't pull through on my order T_T. Now I can stop F5'n their twitter and fb pages lol. *Yea... I got hit with $30 state tax too >.>. Just a bit anxious that they may ship it just as they did with my MS Nu. Brown shipper box with just cardboard corners and fedex shipping labels added to the outside. I even told them I wouldn't mind paying extra for a padded out box and shipping price.

    Ahh that sucks. I ended up making a booth for my FDM printer primarily for when I print with ABS. There's a 12cm static pressure fan, hepa and carbon filter on it and it does decently well I'd say removes about 90-95% of the smell. I also planned on using it when I get an resin printer too, but I can't provide how efficient it is with that yet lol. enclosure: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3485510 hepa filter: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1831932 carbon filter: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:663864 My rig:

    This isnt the first time bbts has put up an item at a high price only for bluefinbrand to make a listing just a few days later more towards the actual pbandai msrp. The MS Nu Funnel Set, the gffmc Wing Snow White, and a few others iirc. Kind of saw a pattern reoccurring here after the 2nd time.*

    Ahh yea IPA is high in demand atm. I wanted a resin 3d SLA (or one of the others) printer but also wanted to wait for a larger volume version. There are new ones out there, but still being beta'd. I can't imagine owning a resin 3d printer and not being able to use it during this time because of supply shortage. I was helping out with printing ventilator splitters for the hospitals in NYC just in case the apex topped out and there was an emergency shortage, so I put my potato Anet A8 to work.

    Ahaha I know the feeling. I think its cause I'm stuck indoors more now that I find myself shopping for things online to keep myself occupied. I just bought myself a creality3d CR-10 V2 with a BL-Touch sensor to replace my three year old Anet A8. I was eyeing the Prusa MK3S last week but the leadtime went from 5-7 days to 4-5 weeks. I'll wait till next month for that one. XD
  11. PsYcHoDyNaMiX
    I guess I'll find out tonight/tomorrow morning if FJ was able to secure an order for me.
  12. PsYcHoDyNaMiX
    Yea... FJ failed me. I put an order in about 3:15am EST opening night (day in jpn 4:15pm) and found out they cancelled my order yet accepted a friend's order who placed nearly 6+ hrs after mine. I paid as soon as the option was available too. Going to give DJ as try since that's where I have my Nu Funnels.
  13. PsYcHoDyNaMiX
    I can completely see bandai releasing "revised" versions in the future (after they've released one errored ver of each), lol.
  14. PsYcHoDyNaMiX
    Its crack. I even said i didnt want it since i already have the sf soul blue ver. But saw the hlj link and said "ehh why not?" Lol. If anything itll go to one of my friends that wanted it. I know one is trying to secure an order now and the other is prob sleeping, lol. Edit: okay back to dorohedoro... XD
  15. PsYcHoDyNaMiX
    Wasnt going to bother with the freedom but saw the link as soon as you posted and placed an order lol. Thanks. Edit: i was sitting on diablo 3 till 3:01am... rolled into bed and checked the thread... lol XD
  16. PsYcHoDyNaMiX
    wuuuut?! Wasn't the SF Soul Blue Version already the rework of the first release for the SF?
  17. PsYcHoDyNaMiX
    No problem! Sorry I didn't get more involved earlier. Okay yea thats what I thought regarding the nub, if the outer shell would eventually be cut away. Ahh okay that makes since about the additional feature near the top and the led switch. Yea I can see the issue with the geometry now regarding the radius and the top bar/extension. Yessh. I never ordered from shapeways as of yet, but however I am familiar with their lengthy process. I never read up on their metal printing process. Those variances will definitely be a killer.
  18. PsYcHoDyNaMiX
    Okay I printed up the part. The orginal side fits with no problem. The issue with the doubled side is two (maybe three) problems. 1. The distance of the doubled part modeled is too short 2. There's a little nub (feature) on the outside edge that hits the blue backpiece (preventing it from sitting flush) 3. The little indentation (feature) that is on the original side but is missing on the doubled side? It might be needed when the backpack is fitted onto the qant.

    Okay I tried to fit the part after cleaning it up and the top part of it was a bit too tight (the inner diameter for extrusion 3). I also measured Bandai's metal bracket for the inner and outer diameter, theirs is about 3.65mm Diameter (inner) and 5.40mm D (outter). I believe yours was 3.6mm D (inner) and 2.356mm Radius (4.7mm outer). I adjusted it so the inner is 3.7mm and left the outer the same since the circular extrusion looked to be measured to the outside of the bracket. Currently printing up another one with the slight modifications. I'll post a response after I attempt to test fit. Edit: Okie dokie the 3.7mm Diameter (inner) change seemed to work! Just a hair snug... the unfinished surface is because my printbed was just a wee bit too high to the hot end. Quant Bracket2.00.stlQuant Bracket2.00.ipt

    Doublepost (didn't realize my phone had an autosaved feature...).
  21. PsYcHoDyNaMiX
    Okay I got the file and export it as an .stl. going to give this a few prints with different settings and see how it turns out. Edit: First print about 18 mins (with bed heating); ABS; 0.2mm 60mm/s speed, supports; Now i just need to dig up the mb qant again... lol.
  22. PsYcHoDyNaMiX
    I really should've replied to you earlier. I have an Anet A8 (Prusa clone). It's been working well for me on most prints for ABS and great pretty much anything PLA. I do plan on eventually get a better printer (Creality and an SLA of some sort). If you like I could try printing out the part with my Anet A8 and test the fit on my MB Qant. Yea when printing parts through Shapeways there isn't too much of a price difference, just really a wait process. Edit: I guess I could also pull out my MB Qant and (shy of taking it completely apart) cad it up on AD Inventor, XD.
  23. PsYcHoDyNaMiX
    Aww damn... sorry to hear. The finish on it looks great and looks pretty close for use too! Edit: Looking at it closer I didn't realize you modeled up the same side. I'm guessing for testing purposes for precision and if it fits you'd flip it symmetrically. Do you have access to a 3d printer? I should've asked after your initial post, but I think I refrained because you stated you ordered the part through shapeways already.
