Interest Cards Mold Hybrid (5 Viewers)

Look

at the nuts

Trying to decide between no mold textured and gecko hybrid.

Have hybrids shipped yet? If so, do we have comparison between hybrid vs CM/NM print quality?

 

[Colquhoun]

Upvote for Arodie.

Even better, though, would be the THC (Top Hat and Colquhoun).

Or I could settle for the perfectly serviceable but somehow less desirable (and unnecessarily asymmetric) Reverse Hat and Colquhoun:

The Arodie mold would be fantastic!
This one looks like “rat in a hat”

This is why you just do it yourself and let others follow. For example, put four geckos circling the mold and I’d buy a set.

I was seriously considering making a ceramic hybrid NUTS mold for a long time. Acorns circling the mold. I scrapped it.

With the cross hatching I've seen on some new ones I'm excited for possiblities

Do it!!!!
Squirrel instead of jockeys?

 

[ngmcs8203]

I think a squirrel chasing the nut pattern would be pretty awesome.

I'd be in for a micro cash set of hybrids ~500-700 chips. CMs would be fine, but I'd be up for just about any hybrid.
Is it true the presence of a label adds a little bit of a deeper "thunk" that you don't normally get from a standard ceramic's "clink"? Not quite as nice (subjectively) as a CC, but somewhere in between?

How about Elephant Gecko and Crown mold?

Rat Hat and Cane = RHC?

And @Colquhoun , I think @Chiphuntr is calling you vermin.

Anyone interested in a large "inlay" hybrid? Would love to try some 1-1/4 inch labels. Open to cards mold or gecko mold or nuts mold.

Also, I'm looking for hybrid samples, can anyone help me out?

 

[dannyz]

This thread has jumped the shark.

 

[GreekRedEye]

In seriousness...I think you would get a lot of community support and orders for a 'PCF' mold if Tommy gives his okay.

Or maybe a "ROULETTE" mold?

Yes, the label/material combo of hybrids dramatically changes the sound, especially the 43mm version with small recess/label. Much nicer than China clays, imo.

Imo, large label hybrids are too slippery, due to the reduced chip-to-chip contact area and resulting loss of surface friction. They also weigh considerably less, with a larger recessed area.

I don't mind high end plastic level slippery, is it more slippery than Abbiati or B&G?

Well done!

I like the 4, have you tried 5?

Also, have you tried a slightly less detailed gecko?

^ This, all three points.

Semi-related question -- are geckos slippery or sticky?

 

[Venturalvn]

@justincarothers should do an arrowdie type mold with the broken arrow arrowhead could be something

@SeanGecko I think 5 geckos seems to fit more then 4 or 6. It just seems more...round? In any case, having a mold made after you personally is still a win

Agree that 4 looks better than 6

 

[Colquhoun]

It’s a design principle, odd numbers of items tend to be more visually appealing.
I vote 5 geckos .

 

[SwissChip]

US buyers only - or is someone shipping them to EU?

 

[Rodog123]

pass on the geico/lizard mold. Yes on the Arodi mold!

Nope not what I said, no disrespect intended.

[paulkersey]

Have you considered gecko with small crown? I think that may look more classy.

I feel like you'd probably get enough interest from all the people with Tropical/Paradise themed sets.

What about gecko palm...?

 

[SeanGecko]

Working on molds still.
