The Thinket Now (Carved Coppertina-2 & Shadow)
The GEN 3.0, Thinket® Now (Carved Coppertina-2 & Shadow) is machined from solid Brass for the custom, hand-stamped & carved Copper-plated and heat-patina treated Handle, #6061 Aluminum for the Copper-plated and Heat-Patina treated Slider-Heads, while the limited production-run Slider-Tube is machined from #304 Stainless-Steel, then sandblasted to a fine, satin-porcelain-like finish and then plated with a Black, diamond-hard PVD / DLC coating.
IMPORTANT: Please note that the images shown here of the heat-patina treated components show some examples of the effects that can occur with the surface distressing and heat-patina treatment processes. The finish colors and surface textures may differ widely from one Thinket to the next.
The specially grooved, GEN 3.0 Slider-Heads are designed to accommodate 15mm O-Rings for a new haptic effect called a "reassuring-thud."
Please note that the hand-stamped & hand carved pattern in the copper-plated surface of the solid-Brass GEN 3.0 Handle varies slightly from one piece to another, so that each of these creations is a unique, limited edition object that is different from the other pieces in the series.
* IMPORTANT: "Please note that the Black PVD / DLC plating on the special limited production-run Slider-Tube is a diamond-hard, satin-like textured coating, and during use the Slider-Tube accumulates a fine translucent Brass patina from the Handle's inner flared #260 Brass Sleeve assembly. That translucent patina is similar to a kind of "brass-rubbing" effect." Please see the last example picture of a Black PVD / DLC coated Slider-Tube showing that translucent brass patina.
This newest Thinket form-factor adds a "reassuring-thud" to the action called a "satisfying-bounce" delivered by every Standard action Thinket). The "reassuring-thud" effect was the primary motivation behind the most recent Thinket Kickstarter project called ("The Thinket Now, GEN 3.0), which was launched, funded, and successfully fulfilled in 2018.
The special new "thud" sensation is achieved by means of the custom-machined O-Ring grooves in the GEN 3.0 Slider-Heads; and several high-quality O-Rings are included with each Thinket Now for use with those grooves.
