*dusts thread*
ok i have to ask to the lucky owners of cradles....
¿how much did it cost yours?
i'm asking because as some of you already know i'm making a cradle to sell on shapeways, and i want to make sure that at least i got it cheap enough to make it worth, since compared to the original this one doesnt have any gimmicks besides looking pretty....
Cradle?

Re: Cradle?
It's very hard to find cradles these days, so it would probably be worth it at any price (when I bought mine 3 years ago, the price was 2000 yen.)
If you need a gimmick, I suggest a removeable bottom and a mousehole large enough to run a cord through. Then you could put things like a flash drive or similar inside it and run a USB cable out of it.

Re: Cradle?
New user here so first off, sorry if bumping older threads is bad etiquette here.
Anyway, any pictures of the standard cradle? I can find plenty of pictures of the white & black set, but none of the standard single cradle. I'm assuming it's the same thing, just in a different color. Trying to decide if I want to get one with Rakuten's new user coupon and if the color goes well with any of mine, that might be the deciding factor.

Re: Cradle?
The original cradle is the same as the white cradle in the two-pack, the black cradle in the two-pack just has the colors swapped, iirc.

Re: Cradle?
First off, sorry for digging this grave.
I just ordered a Cradle on Amazon for eye-watering CA$171 (include shipping). But anyway, im gonna make it more useful than just a LED lamp.
I'm planning on putting a 250GB Samsung 850 Evo SSD (cost me CA$135) into the cradle, and mod the LED into a status indicator.
I'll post pictures here (or somewhere else) after im done... it should not be a hard job.
