Why do pm6 eyes SUCK?

[neppo1345]

He's a friend of mine. He's just asking for a punch to kidneys, thats all.

I'll take care of it next time i see him, dont worry.

You won't do anything, you love me too much.

Go break some more eye ribbons.

[behemoth]

Are you talking about after the eyes are already in? The excesses wire? If so I just tuck that down by the board and it's good to go...


Do you have a UL frame by chance?


Oh if they aren't working might wanna make sure the right side of the ribbon is up and if it is look at the end of the ribbon and see if it looks damaged or burnt maybe..if so, or even if it doesn't then trim a little bit off of the ribbon (if there is damage trim that off) and plug them back in, I think I had to do that to mine when they gave me some issues and they work fine now.

Ye I don't like the ribbons, or how you plug them in..I believe vision shockers are the same way...

No, you gotta take out the noid, fish the led's into the holes, put the noid back, then try to put the gun back together.

Well, i couldnt plug the ribbon into the board while the frame was on the gun, so i plugged the ribbon into the board, then while i was attemting to attach the frame to the body (goofy curved frame/body connection, cant be flat like everyone else..) the body slipped out of my hands, and the ribbon snapped.

Next time set it on a table and handle the wire....not the gun..

Will the wire reach to plug..might be able to make it work.

I know, i know it was my fault, but if they were wires, it wouldnt have happend.

I believe if the manufacturers use actual wire instead of ribbon, the price of the marker will go up $200.

[gruntbull]

Ribbon eyes are worthless they get them I bet for less than 3 dollars.

Bottom Line: Leave poor quality markers to the Agg Noobs of the world to buy...

That is anyone who bases any marker aquisition decision on whether any markers found in said decision are "agg" or "non-agg" are a specific breed of Noobs

haha how right you are!

i REALLY hope i missed something, and misread you saying that Dye/Proto's are poor quality markers....

yea, iIve broke the eye ribbons on my pm6, but i don't know where you got them for $40, the place by me charged me $15, and they threw in some new o-rings as well. they are not the strongest in the world, but i can tell you that once you've broke them, you are gonna take EXTRA careful not to do it again.

money hungry; no one can deny that about Dye. but on the whole: poor quality markers, definitely not.


Personally, I'm looking into the Lucky Eyes, as they are actual wires, and are visible down the chamber

[Ydna]

The problem is you wouldn't be able to attach the eyes anywhere else except the mainboard, since the gun doesn't use a daughterboard. Personally I tend to remove the board before reinstalling the frame with body, then plug the eys in and reinstall the board. It's adding a few extra steps but hey it works.

The eye ribbons themselves are cheap to make once you've got the design down, but initially they cost a few thousand to get correct...like most everything else these days...

[rkjunior303]

why didn't you try to contact DYE? They've been stellar when it comes to customer service.

[Pneumagger]

wait, josh...

you broke your replacement eye covers too? or you talking about the original eyes?

So what is your basis for declaring dye made markers (since that is just what a proto is) poor quality?



I would really like to see some basis for this assumption.Oh and don't use the example given in this thread Behemoth already said it was user error.

the '03 matrices were BEAUTIFUL. since then, i think since then they have only sacrificed efficiency for speed and weight

Still today go pick up an 03 and it will shoot ropes all day long..like you said it might just be a little heavier,and have different efficiency...still just as fast though and will work like a charm.
