No biggie at this point. I should have all parts to accommodate all varieties in a couple days so don't sweat it if it's a pain!

Start posting up if you've got yours installed and working!

Fit and finish are excellent. As we've been told this is high quality industrial 3d printing and not at all like other 3D parts I've handled in the past. Nice complete kit with both SS and black oxide bolts, spare nut, and ring and clip options.

Do clean the fob before assembly, I should have.

Nice product, big improvement so far.

Any chance of getting a darker green one like the ones pictured in your drawer on page 5 of your prototype thread?

If not, you could use Rit Dye for plastics

Looking good, thanks for the picture! Good point on cleaning - I assume you're talking about the screw holes. Sometimes there's left over powder from the printer that gets trapped in there. Poking it out with a screw should clear it up.

I've tried dying with the Rit dyes and had marginal success. It definitely dyed the plastic, but the colors were never very bright and vibrant - nothing nearly as good as the printing service can do. I decided to leave it to the experts that dye these plastics all day every day and live with their limitations on color selection.

Please note, I clear coat the colors (everything but black) by default. You would not want the piece to be cleared if you wanted to try dyeing. I would certainly do a special order and skip the clear coat, but you'd have to let me know ahead of time. I try to clear coat the colored parts as they arrive from the printer.

No, the screw holes and all new parts were all very clean. I was referring to the hand grease on the panic button and led on the old OEM remote .

UPDATE! RESPONSE REQUESTED!:

There are two key blade base styles. Let's call them "T-Base" and "I-Base". See pictures below. Pending which style you have, I can ship your fob out either tomorrow/Monday or late next week.

PLEASE PM ME YOUR NAME AND KEY BASE STYLE!

Thanks for your collective patience as I get all these inventory details sorted out! After next week your base style won't matter as I'll ship parts for both styles with every fob. If you end up needing the extra parts for the other style I will ship those free of charge as needed, so no worries if you get your style wrong.

Just saw this!

I have a "T" style key. I will PM you as well.

If you want to print a purple fob so you can get a picture, you can do one for me. I ordered black originally.

Great video - thanks!

@suprarx7nut I got mine - looks and feels great - very happy with it! Great job!

Note that without a clamp it was a bit tough to get the last screw in, I ended up using pliers to get the force needed to hold it close.

Hmm, interesting. Two questions:

1. Lexus or Toyota key?
2. Were you using the SS or the Black Oxide screws?
3. All screws or just the upper or lower?

1. 2000 Toyota LC with T shaped key
2. Using the SS screws
3. I had issue with the longer screw closest to the key

After watching your install video, I screwed in the middle one first (with the key hole), followed by the bottom screw, and then the long ones. The last long one (on the side opposite where you have YotaMD stamped) needed pliers.

One more thing ... the T shaped key had ridges on one side - it's likely a marker as it only goes in a particular orientation. Recommend being mindful of this for future batches.

Obviously some have shipped - any idea on when all orders will ship?

Thanks for the info. The Black Oxide screws will work better as the head of those screws is slightly smaller and allows the screw to sit further down. I'm surprised the SS screws are problematic for a few people. They're all good on my testers, but just barely. Regardless, I'll get that resolved on future batches.

Can you elaborate on the ridges on the key? I know there's a slot in the face on some T keys and they are slightly asymmetric, but they should still fit either way.

I expect all orders placed before the 21st of August to ship out this week with all other orders shortly behind that. If you know your key has a "T" shaped metal base under the OEM plastic then I can get you on the "short list" like the folks you see posting here.

Sweet, already PM'd you about my T-base and my order was placed on 08/10 - can't wait.

I have not gotten any paypal updates?

I think yours went out today or perhaps will go out tomorrow, but I'll have to check with my shipping coordinator. I expect you'll see tracking soon either way!
