I'd go on Thursday as originally planned Barrie. You might be lucky!

Me neither. I just get Steve's broken picture icon in the original posting. And I'm in the UK. Have tried IE and Chrome and I use Firefox. All fail.

Funny though as I'm pretty sure that when it was first posted I could see it fine.

Nice picture though. And a nice piece of quality British Engineering. Love the lighting.

Dave, off the top of my head how about...

Rye, East Sussex. Very olde worldy. A friend of mine comes from there and their shop was converted to a pub for filming Black Beard. I think it's Mermaid street the famous street. Great little town.

The Jack and Jill windmills on the South Downs near Ditchling beacon and Brighton. You can go in one of them and watch it all working. Great views north over the Weald.

Bodium castle is great. Went there on a school trip long time ago. Proper castle with moat.

Bluebell railway is down that way too. Great day out.

Thanks for letting me know Naim.

Alig and Scarr1 - I do note your interest and when/if I get another batch I will let you know. Currently pondering on improvements.

Angela,

You have the covers for the K-r/K-30 battery and because of the projection at one end of the battery, and the resulting U shaped slot in the cover, you cannot put those ones on the wrong way round. So it's less of an issue for you. The batteries for the K-5 do not have the projection.

Yes Mike,

You can put them in the wrong way round and they are a loose fit that way round. It also means that the contacts would be at the end where the sliding indicator is so there are also small areas where the contacts could be exposed so I perhaps should make it so that you cannot assemble them the wrong way round.

Just to be clear (in the best possible politicians speak :wink the arrow on the cover should point in the same direction as the one on the battery. But yes, I know the arrow on the cover isn't that easy to see!

Thanks for the comments - they are helpful.

John, Yes, there is potential to make it easier to remove them and I will look at this, thanks.
As for the 150 battery, I might be able to borrow one briefly so I can make one for that so potentially yes.

I also have a Pentax Q and so am considering a cover for the batteries for those too. As they are pretty small and tend to run out quite quickly, I'm wondering about a cover to take 2 or even three in one part. Anyone have any preference or thoughts on Q battery covers?

Thanks to you both for the feedback.

Well that was quick. Sorry but it looks like they are all gone now. Last ones to Mike-P

Since there was quite a bit of interest in these when I mentioned them recently, I have had a batch made, which reduces the cost.

However, due perhaps to a miscalculation, I now only have covers for the D-LI90 battery left. Ie the one for the K-5 and I think the K-7 and K-3.

They feature a slider with 3 settings to indicated whether it is fully charged, partially charged or depleted. The cover snaps onto the battery with the arrow pointing in the same way as the arrow on the cover.

They are made from Nylon and like all rapid prototyping/3D printing processes, built up in very thin layers.

Let me know if you would like one (or more) or have any further questions.

To recover the cost of getting them made I am charging £3.60 each and the postage is by Royal Mail Large Letter post - £0.73 2nd class, £0.93 1st class once per package (as long as it doesn't go over the size limits for this service).
