What mic-tip for my commlink?

[Lichtbringer]

Yesterday i was toying around with some new stocked Delrin - i made the scope for my Jabbas palace guard blaster, and as machined Delrin has the tendency to mess absolutly the whole shop, i made another part to have only one cleanup.

 

The second part became the grill, that was original intended as the ribbed part on Leias ANH-Trooperkiller - but i messed my measurements and it ended 3mm to long. <_<

So i was thinking "why not build a commlink from it?"

 

For a commlink i need a mic-tip - and i´m not that educated on this part as you guys are, so i request your help.

 

I know that they are offered by Mark and Keith (anyone else?) ...... if i decide to make a commlink from it, i only would need a single one. They come in pairs, so when paying for 2 and international shipping while only needing one, i want to end with a really good one. Prefered not completly hollow with a "interesting" looking inner part behind the screen, not already black painted and then assembled as i need it a shiny white, should be with a hole in the back to use a bolt to fasten it.

 

Now my main question: For what version shall i go? Any advice is appreciated.

I think Mark's tips are the way to go here. I think they come with all the right parts, unassembled and white in colour. At least that's what I know from the pictures. I don't own one of them myself though.

Thanks Mathias.

 

Defstartooper at the RPF mentioned also the guys from RS, with casts from their screen used Helmet-tips.

 

 

Someone out there who has bought all these 3 offered (or at least 2) over the time, and can give his assesment on them?

All I know is that the RS mic tip is really "rough" as I think their original also was a resin cast. I've seen several guys here swap them out for tips from Keith or Mark

OK, then i´m at the beginning, again.

 

What would you all use it it would be your comlink? Keiths? Or Marks?

 

 

Or is that the kind of question that should not be asked/answered publicly, due beeing as walking through a minefield between 2 sides?
