Mike at Gman/Wiguitar has someone making these step stops from a 3D printer. He gave me a couple and I helped him get them right. These are the ones that are for the prerefined models with the projecting tab for by-hand adjustment. I installed this on my refined Mojo. Had to widen the slot by about 1/16" and then I drilled a small hole like I did in my prerefined so that I could visibly see the bridge plate projection hitting the step stop for the visual check instead of fussing blindly. Works great! Also, he had sent me a reverse step stop for lefty Parkers since his source initially created a mirror image of what was needed for right handed models.

Very cool, @Soloaxer. Glad that worked out!

Yes, we have a repository of models if you ever need another printed—you can download the file and take it to your local library and have it printed.

Thanks, VJ. I felt the info on the lefty models could help also. Please PM me if the back cover for the pre-refined become available. I have an idea for a battery compartment location but will not defile my original part.

Now if I could just figure out how to work these quotes in correctly :oops:

Will do—we did a pilot where we sold a few printed models through online printing services, but they all charged a hefty markup, so we released the models with a CC non-commercial license. Not a final solution, but something.

You had an extra [/quote] tag in there, so I removed it 🙂
