Where to find decent squonkers.

[nerzz]

Hi all
I've been mega into squonking since I picked up an octopus last month, literally haven't touched any of my other mechs since.
The question is where do you lot get your mech squonkers from? They seem as rare as rocking horse s***!
It seems like a lot are obtained though Facebook, which I do not have nor want to get involved with lol.
I've made around 20 dual/triple parralel boxes and now it's looking like I'm gunna have to make a few squonkers for myself ( have access to a 3D printer )
Anyways any advice where to find decent squonkers all help is appreciated

Cheers
Max

fb is the best place to pick them up but some shops do get stock from time to time. I got my last one, a Signature mods SQ mech from signature tips. Check out their website to see when the next pre-order is. They do have a fb group too.

If i had access to a 3D printer i would definitely be making them myself, maybe do a short run of a dozen or so and see if you can sell them on.

@geordie they look lovely mate! Will deffo be looking into one!

@Bazz_74 yeah I've been thinking of that, just need to source some silver sheets for the contacts. Know any where I could find solid silver sheets at a reasonable price?

For the difference in price I'd just use copper, yeah silver is slightly more conductive but copper is perfectly adequate and if you do decide to sell on will enable you to sell at a competitive price.

If you've access to a 3D printer you could probably do a lot worse than this https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2412505

Thank you dismal_fett that will be printed off tonight and compared to a Franki clone

no bother @David Beadle, i'd be interested to know how it turns out.

i'd really like the occultus that 67 mods make, but way too rich for my blood right now as i've only just fell down the squonking rabbit hole. pretty decent of him to put a basic version out on open source though.

The STL files for the Mushroom mod have been released as well so you can print your own, I think they also reside on Thingiverse. Beaum vape get some interesting mods in, I believe they are selling the rangarock at the moment which is 3D printed,
