Wayno

I had a Skiva charger for a few years that I found via a link on another post somewhere. It didn't introduce any static, and worked great for the few times I used it. Unfortunately, I tried to use it a couple weeks ago and it blew the fuse to the cigarette lighter in my 231. After landing I tried to plug it into my Tundra, and it blew the fuse there too. Then I went on a search for other options, mostly because I felt the Skiva was a pretty cheaply made plastic POS. After a bit of research, I tried using a charger that I already owned with an Apple cable that was wrapped around a ferrite core, and there was no difference...a ton of static in my com radios. I finally found a post that referenced an Anker IQ charger that somebody had luck with. I came close to buying that one, but liked the smaller form factor in this one better: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07PGT7LSR/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I tested it today, and had absolutely no static in my com radios. Hopefully this helps someone that is in the same search as me.

OK, here's the verdict on the "White Strong & Flexible Polished" version: It's a bit less rough than the normal one, but is far from polished. You can still see the step marks from the 3d printing process, although they aren't quite as prominent. The switch cover still needs some sanding to make it nice enough to install. I hope that helps everyone interested. IMHO, it might save about 5 minutes of sanding. Since they are the same price as the others, it's probably worth ordering, but don't expect it's ready for install.

Marauder, the polished plastic is just an option that Karl has now made available for the ETA style switch covers. Just go to Shapeways.com and do a search for "ETA" and you'll find it. I just ordered 1, and am happy to be the Guinea Pig. I'll report back.

Hey Wayno, Sorry I have been absent from Mooneyspace. I never tried ordering them in the polished plastic because I have not needed to reorder since completing and installing my first batch back when I started this thread. I have changed the settings at shapeways so that you can order them. My concern is that the polishing process may break some of the walls because they are pretty thin in some areas. If you do try it in the polished material, please report your results back to thread for me and others. I'm going to order 1 in the polished plastic and see how it turns out. I'll post back when I get it and have a chance to evaluate it.

Karl, I recently ordered 2 of the rocker switch covers you designed, and I want to say thanks for your time and effort designing these and making them available for all of us to buy. Since ordering them, and spending quite a bit of time finishing them, I contacted Shapeways about purchasing your design in the Strong & Flexible Polished Plastic. I was told that you as the designer have sole control to offer that. I don't know if there is a downside to the polishing process, but it seems like it would save a bunch of time finishing these, so I'm curious if you would consider offering these in the polished plastic. Thanks, WAYNO
