Hi guys,
I just became proud owned of the K33 SB cutom micron AB from Foxy Studio - BIG thanks to Carlo Tedesco for super quick shipment and patience! :-D.

Just wanted to share the K33 needle quality vs standard IWATA one. Photos taken with the phone camera (so I apologize for kinda crappy quality - phone cams will never be good).
Anyway - see the pics belolow! :

Look forward to seeing what you produce with it. I'm also looking forward to the 0.23mm version!
 
Wow. That is all I can really say about this. The pictures speak for themselves!
 
just wondering if you guys who have the k33 gun do have that "devil" tip longer than the needle tip or is it the same length?
in my case one side is slightly shorter and second side is the very same length - it doesnt really protect the tip. dont know if i should get back to foxy studio about it.

Just checked mine, the tips are just at the needle tip, but I think it will be fine. it still protects the tip if falling and lands in an angle and hitting the tip point blank I think is hard. on the other hand, what harm can it do to ask Foxy, you want top notch for that dollar. :thumbsup:
 
the "devil"should be slightly longer and protect the needle , so yes I would contact Carlo about it
Carlo just sent me an email that this is completely ok. That the needle might stick out a tiny bit. But i would still prefer longer cap of course.

I think the needle cap is mainly to be able to get in close to the work without having the turbulent in th air as it comes out which you would normally get with a standard cap, if you don't want it I will gladly send you my micron crown cap in exchange
Seeing the needle close up I will certainly invest in one at a later date when I'm actually earning some money. I already have soft springs so not much to upgrade. I wonder if the 0.23 will work in a HP-b 0.2 ? Any ideas?

you can achieve the same finish with diamond paste ....

Or with normal polishing hi gloss paste and piece of felt. But what i wanted to show is the difference between k33 needle and standard needle.

I used my k33 gun with this needle yesterday and yes - it is like ab on steroids. Beautiful thin lines, i had to clean the needle tip twice in 2 hours! The paint i used was trident brand, white color.

Love this gun.

I modified the standard micron needle cap by removing 2 of the 4 sprong's and polished the remaining 2 sprong's with 2000 grid and made them a little shorter so the are just long enough to protect the needle .
I know some like to see the needle so the sprong's are to the left and right of the needle ( the K33 is set up that way ) but I like mine on the top and below the needle as my vision makes it easier to see the needle cap then the needle and you can adjust it by sanding the base down a bit till it sits just the way you like it

Noticed these pics are on the Foxy site,
Were these photos from Foxy? or are they now using your photos?
EDIT- Oh you said you took them with your phone so I guess Foxy has your pictures on their site. That's pretty cool! are they gonna give you a discount on your next purchase for the pics?
