Been covered already but basically production costs etc.

--- Quote from: opt2not on April 10, 2019, 02:19:57 pm ---Why doesn't he just sell it as a installation kit? You can buy happs gun shells for cheap these days. Why bother with the hassle of creating your own shell?

Just sell the PCB and internals to allow customers to install them into a shell of your choice, and be done with it. Maybe offer completely built units at additional cost for those who aren't comfortable with an install method.

This is what a lot of home-brewers are doing these days for console mods.

He is planning on releasing a DIY kit if he can get the thing off the ground to start with.

You keep telling me that border is adjustable, but in every vid he does the border is a frikkin inch and a half wide. That makes me think even if it's adjustable it doesn't work reliably unless it's big. That's a non-starter for me. Even with the many, many issues associated with them, it makes me want to look towards the laser-based guns. If he could do a few vids sans the gigantic border I think it would help the cause and believe it or not I really want him to succeed... it's just good for the community in general.

If you look at the videos I did the border is smaller.

The tracking one the border was around 15mm across a 42” tv.

The one with the CRT was even thinner.

I think it basically depends on the distance and lighting conditions as tge camera needs to clearly see it.

So if you are far away in a well lit room it would need to be thicker (as per his videos) and if you look at the CRT one which was done in a dark room much thinner.
