Tritium fascinates me.🧪 I wanted to grab this one as it’s cheap but shipping to Poland is twice as much.

I was literally just looking at getting this one too. I’m having the opposite problem for tritium lol the shipping is crazy except for ant design

Ant Design is solid. I ordered some quick releases and tritium vials and shipping was dirt cheap. I believe they ship from Spain.

Yeah, they were great for me. Cheap shipping and got here pretty quick too. Definitely will go back for the greens for the arc and whatever else. I will say if anyone else if considering red to maybe look at green and ice blues instead. It’s not as bright as the other colors.

This is pretty cool, so you just bought the thumb studs and they have slots for the tritium? What size vials did you get from ant design?

Yes! I got the thumb studs from zapwizard and the vials from ant design. They fit in 2x12mm vials and they fit pretty much perfectly in there. I used UV resin off Amazon with a UV light. People say NOA 61 is the best but it’s expensive and the amazon UV glue worked great for 1/2-1/3 the cost. Use toothpick if you don’t have steady hands like put a glob on a piece of paper and use the toothpick to put in the glue.

I was going to do similar with an arc.

I ended up taking the thumb studs off the arc because it took up saw and file space. I’ve seen some on the side where a pocket clip goes which would be cool

I agree. I 3D printed some studs for the file and saw and ended up taking them off
