Zap Cheater Interest Thread

[Tek2974]

I managed to get the CAD files and an interested machinist. Original thread and where it's going to have the interest list is on MCB.

If you don't have a mcb account either make one, or if you're banned for some odd reason, I'll add you manually from here.


This is the link to the original thread.

Too many of us are machinists lol.

[RehKal]

What do these things look like?

[KurtPB]

If there's enough interest to get them to their $100 price, I'd take two.

[Frizzle Fry]

Have you talked to Forrest Hatcher yet?

i second this notion.

[Tek2974]

Who exactly is Forrest Hatcher?

[luke]

The man that owns the patent on the part you intend on making.

[Tek2974]

Thanks Luke, anyone have his contact info? I was checking patents but all I came across was the one by Colin Moritz and it didn't apply to this design. Is this the guy who designed the original zap cheater or someone who just owns a patent on a pneumatic trigger system?

[Tek2974]

Found the patent, US7231911

Great more legal bull****, time to start making phone calls.

[BTAutoMag]

legal stuff is easy to get around. if we sell a replacement block as one item and a "rebuild kit" as another theres really nothing that he can do. espesially if you have to source your own o-rings

I contacted them last week to see if I could set up licencing myself. I spoke to Tracy, just waiting to hear back from Forrest.

Why you think his patent is not valid for what you want to build?. I'm no patent lawyer, but PTP found his design infringement on theirs so they must know something you don't.

Do you have a link to Colin's patent?

G-Force also claimed he had one but I never saw it.

I'd be interested on seeing that cad file as well.
