Nice job on the blank!
Someday soon. I have some NEW ideas that I want to try as soon as the "studio" warms up to above 30F.
How do you like the click mechanism on this kit?

In my opinion, (maybe not a good one since my first Vertex failed) the clicking mech sticks, resulting in a failure to me. I too would love to know how many others have had issues with this kit?

Oh, but nice job on creating your own blank! Is the black part cut up pieces cast in blue resin?

Haven't done many of the Vertex but no problem so far with sticking. A lot of interest from people on the pen style.

Funny thing about both the Polaris and the Vertex - folk either love 'em or hate 'em!
I quite like the vertex, but I think it needs a more sharp, engineered-looking blank. Perhaps even a hex shaped one!

I have to say - at first, I thought it was broken! But, it's just a really soft, non-tactile button. I quite like it.

Somewhere around here, one of the resin-heads gave me the idea for pouring the PR on a sheet of glass and peeling it up again before it became brittle. I left my first attempt too long and it shattered as I peeled it. "Waste not, want not," I believe they say...!
I've subsequently modified my process for this. Rather than using glass, I now pour my PR onto a silicone baking sheet, so it can always peel off, even if I leave it too long.

Looks good. I kinda like the vertex. You are right about the click mechanism. It is just soft and non-tactile, but seems to hold up. The biggest complaint I get on the vertex is the clip is too short.
