Any chance you remember a rough timestamp?

Yo, the Aliexpress M0110 and NCR80 both come in black now!

Apple one would look slick with a black PVD badge

Pretty great looking NCR too! I wish they would do something with the Numlock badge thing so that you could put your own paper/color under there.

The only negative I see is that it doesn’t appear to come in WKL top. But still, very nice. And you can add the EC kit too :slight_smile: Although, it’s pricey at $160

I’d love to know if I could snag a plate file for this so I could EC it myself. It’s such a cool idea but $160 is just too steep.

It’s linked in the post at the timestamp.

Drop announced MT3 Extended 2048 Dark:

Unless I missed it in the article, they don’t mentioned if this will be PBT or ABS MT3 but either way it has to be a new thing, right?

Either:

  1. The first all-over dye sub PBT MT3
  2. The first ABS MT3 set with a custom font

Here’s the announcement:

I doubt it will be ABS 2shot. Drop can’t even keep the current moulds upright.

Just saw a comment under that post where biip confirms that they’ll be dye-sub PBT:

Did ABS run over this guy’s mother, repeatedly?

Easily one of the silliest comments I’ve ever seen.

I think you may be right. I prefer PBT over ABS too, but you know there’s history between this guy and ABS to get to this level of disgust.

Was this crafted from PBT, the purest form of holy and righteous plastic to grace the earth? Or ABS, aka THE DEVIL’S RESIN, summoned forth from the bowels of hell to encrust and entomb my precious puppy Mr. Fluffers? How dare you, Drop… how dare you?

Back to the main subject. This seemed the most likely answer but I do wish that it had been a buncha new double-shot molds (one because it would have shown Drop moving in that direction) and I just tend to like double-shot better than all-over dye sub (I love “regular” dye sub). But, in retrospect that was a pipe dream.

All-over Dye Sub PBT MT3 sounds ok too though, I’ll probably give this one a try, I like the BoW 2048 MT3

Here’s a sample shot from Biip’s discord. The white legends look pretty good here:
