Future LVL10 Users,
We have found our first issue with the LVL10 parts. The o-ring carrier (4) comes in 5 different sizes to properly fit the variations in the power tube o-ring. In setting up the first few guns for our teams SWARM and AGDPride we came across the following problems.
When using carrier #2 and finding that the oring is too loose on the bolt, you should then switch to carrier #1 which is 3 thousands smaller and in theory should give you the right fit. It turns out that the batch of o-rings we have is right in the middle and is too loose with one carrier and too tight with the next one up the line.
THIS IS NOT A SHOW STOPPER!! But we had to put in an emergency order of "tweener" carriers that are in between the current sizes. So now there will be like 9 carriers to choose from. The problem is that they will be marked funny to tell them apart. Original carriers have 0,1,2,3 or 4 grooves cut around the outside. The new half sizes will have the same thing except with the addition of 3 small divits around the outside to show that they are half sizes.
Example 0, 0 with divit, 1, 1 with divit, etc.
The second problem is that the power tube o-rings sometimes (but not always) break in and get a little bigger. So a gun that is setup and working suddenly starts leaking down the barrel for no reason. You then have to take it apart and go to the next smaller carrier.
PLAN ON OVER AN HOUR to get your gun setup right. It took us several hours to get 4 guns working here the other night. I warned you that you would be beta testers on this stuff so don't get on here and complain if you can't figure it out the first time.
We expect that it will take a lot of support for the first guys to get things working right. I don't think our tech lines can handle it so we will be doing as much as we can here in the forum to help everyone out and get them working smoothly. We might not even send instructions so we can constantly update instructions here as this evolves.
If things go well and we don't get any more things popping up we should be shipping next week.
Again, things are fine, the product still works, we added more parts to make it easier, it starts doing things you don't expect like leaking, plan on spending time understanding the system. I told you this is tunable like a Cocker, now you get to play with it all week!!
