*  3688 Slope 75 2 x 2 x 2 Quadruple Convex Parts: Slope The description for this part says that it can have either a blocked open stud or a hollow stud. To me, having one entry for a part that appears to have two versions is a problem. For sellers, there is no way to list the two variations separately, and for buyers there is no way to know what version they will be receiving in an order. This can be a problem if a buyer needs one version, but receives the other. Please create a second catalog entry so sellers can differentiate the two versions in their store listings. I would recommend the following... 3688a - Slope 75 2 x 2 x 2 Quadruple Convex with Blocked Open Stud 3688b - Slope 75 2 x 2 x 2 Quadruple Convex with Hollow Stud

[...] Hi there! Are you running a string through the stud? That is the only way the variant could matter for what you are building :) (3 months ago, Feb 28, 2024, to Catalog Requests)

[...] Blocked Open Studs and Hollow Studs have a similar footprint/shape. They should both hold the Barraki Eye the same. Are you perhaps looking for an Open Stud? ~Jen (3 months ago, Feb 29, 2024, to Catalog Requests)

[...] "Blocked Open Stud" and "Hollow Stud" are currently in the process of being merged in the entire catalog, so unfortunately, this will not occur. Cheers, [...] (3 months ago, Feb 29, 2024, to Catalog Requests)
