I have heard the call to arms. I have a CAD file already designed, and I am SO close to making a prototype. However I am not "at the office" until another 10-12 days. I will bang out a prototype as quickly as I can. One thing I need from anyone who has the dark yet, and calipers, is a measurement or 2 of some chip heights.
I am close to having my new CNC 100% operational which could make a FEW of these at a time. I will have my hands full of some other projects as well. Feel free to post if your interested, or any questions. My computer access is quite limited, but I will be on and off.

Now here comes the completed pics
Backside pre-lapping:
Topside w/Delrin top:
Installed:
Top off with O-ring removed:
You can see the lowermost channel that goes within 0.09" of the surfaces of the chips
Bottom lapped:
Top with Stainless Steel screws - for those who want a lil flair with their dark:
And becoming one with nature. Tried for some sunlight pictures:
