Hi all,
I'm not very happy with the elastic loops and tire inner tubes I've been using to keep my dangling things from dangling (like flashlights and such). They are never at the right spot or the right size to easily get things in/out.
I think a web dominator might be an excellent choice. They are easy to open/close. They can be moved around on your gear easily. They can accommodate items of different size. Web dominators are also cheap, at around $1 each, but they only come sized for 1 inch web (standard military molle size).
My current BCD has 1.5" web. I'm going to move to a BP/W in the future with 2" web. I've drawn up and laser cut a 2" prototype from acrylic. It seems to work great, but I have to get some right size bungee for more testing. This first prototype is 'slip on' and can easily be removed and replaced elsewhere. I'm also considering a version that looks like a web slider (not quickly removed).
I've attached a picture of my prototype, and a picture of a normal 1" commercially available version.
Please, no flames. Don't want a bunch of feedback on how I must be doing it wrong and so on. Feedback on the design is greatly appreciated.
My plan is to make some 1.5" and 2" models from 1/8" thick Delrin. Unfortunately, the delrin sheets are expensive. Anyone want to share the cost of materials? I'd figure out the actual cost, plus postage (no profit here for me).
