Still pushing for that idea in the "full-body" phase. Might be tricky to pull out effectively - for cutting such leg, without pressure-molding, you need to cut it from thick aluminum brick, and as result you get inner-part of that "brick", that is just a little smaller of what you would need for parts of body. So, the full-body leg, suddenly, require the same amount of start material, than rest of unit (whole body). I'll try to come with some solution for this, maybe some clever idea will come up.

[QUOTE=Mentalist Traceur;1438542] I imagine the only way you could 'embed' the kickstand into the backcover without it having a noticeably 'separate' attachment is with one of those obscenely expensive 3D printers that can print metal with like, lasers and metal powder, you know, black magic sort of stuff)/quote]

Yep, exactly like that. And even then, I suspect that the part acting like hinges would be too weak, if made from laser-welded* metal powder - actually, as mentioned in one of earlier post, I needed to replace aluminum hinges with brass ones, for the durability reasons (of course, colour after lacquering stay the same).

As for progress, quite busy at the moment - producing complete units for pre-ordering donors
