Nope I’ve spoke to John and all is good to discuss. So order away on the precision discs. I would highly recommend getting the full kit though after having them in hand for a week or so, the craftsmanship is stunning plus John is a super nice guy so well worth supporting him.
If you have the Prem/LE get the orca wheel disc/spinner too, it doesn’t have the machined raised mount underneath as there is no weight on the wheel disc but again it’s a huge improvement over Sterns and a lot more gentle on your balls
I am making movie replica replacements for the flat plastics, both Quints Reel and the Orca Wheel are currently at the manufacture, hoping to have the production prototypes back by this Friday.
No parts are FDM 3D printed, both the Reel and Wheel will be made from a mixture of the materials, Davey has used for his Tokyo Neon sign, my Deadpool Hellhouse Sign and my Wireless DB5 Bond Shooter.
The Quint Reel, will remove all the exposed screws shown on the plastic, it also saves you having to drill out or file off your rivets to remove the factory plastic from Sterns disc to use on Johns. It will also remove the weighted post as the Reel handle is weighted to replace it and add further realism/movie accuracy to the part.
The Orca Wheel is again movie accurate will remove all visible screws. I’ve added the test Wheel below as I am happy to show that currently as the production material will be the only change, paint applications will stay the same.
They have been designed in collaboration with John to specifically fit his discs and improve the visual aesthetics while keeping the improved performance of Johns work.
