Re: MannequinFan Has Done it Again!!
To make things a little easier, I've added a little wedge tool in the kit for preparing the caps before installing them. So aside from positioning your doll with the bottoms of the feet up, here are three steps for an easy install...
1
Just insert the wedge into the slot and press all the way down to flex the caps open a little.
No warming is necessary with this version. 2
Make sure you have at least 1/4" (6.5mm) screw clearance to the metal fitting in doll's foot.
If not, adjust the screw as needed before installing caps. 3
Contrary to the previous version, it helps to start these at an angle.
The cap will spread open much easier this way when pressing them on.

Wish I had that wedge tool at the time. Is this considered a version 4 or the same just with the wedge tool?

It's the same V3 cap - just added the little tool.ILuvFemsNlingerie wrote:Is this considered a version 4 or the same just with the wedge tool?
It's a bit easier than trying to use the screwdriver and flexes them the right amount.
You can still use the 1/4" screwdriver for removal though.
Just insert in the cap slot and twist.

Thanks Waspie for the kind words.waspie wrote:Brilliant design and working as intended for me, but can't stand my doll unsupported, but this is not the intention of these, (i don't think). They certainly do the job of protecting feet and saving socks and hosiery from being ripped and laddered. Nice work and very quick delivery from across the pond, many thanks MannequinFan
I think USPS must have put them on a rocket to get them there in only 4 days!
Some domestic shipments take longer than that!
IMO, even though it's possible with the proper balance, I don't think the doll manufacturers ever intended the screw design to be used for unsupported standing. The main purpose was to protect the TPE feet from getting damaged from the weight of the doll.
I'm not sure how/why the caps would affect the standing, but it's always best to have a third point of support when standing the doll.
If the doll falls over it could incur serious damage.

Re: MannequinFan Has Done it Again!!
Been working with Jeff at BCD on making some changes in the way some of my items will be available here on TDF.
The private waiting list method is just not working very well anymore.
Starting in May, the plan is to occasionally have pre-made items available in the BCD section here on TDF instead of taking orders by PM.
There will be a graphic that updates to show what is available, so you'll just have to watch the thread for what comes up.
I'll try to keep as many things available as possible, but there may be times when nothing is available. I'm just a one-man show so often times other things in my life just have to take precedent.
I'll be keeping you all informed, so just keep an eye out.
Thanks everyone!
MF
P.S.
I'm out of the flesh tone plastic at the moment. When I get some in I'll be making some screw covers available.
