Edit: Just checked it out on their website and it says the weekend of March 28th. So hopefully I'll be able to make it up!

Well this is upsetting.. I was originally told that the scenario game was scheduled for the following weekend (first weekend in April). I have a conflict on the 29th, which means I will not be attending the scenario game.

what program do you use to design that? then how do you make it real, like, what company do you send the design to for them to make it?
whats does that company charge?

or is that way out of range for the average person who loves CAD programs?

This is certainly not out of range for the average CAD'er, but it is quite expensive. It's all a matter of getting your design perfect the first time around (or close to it), finding a suitable CNC-capable machinist, and exporting your part files to a format that the machinist's software can read. You will typically find prototype costs ranging from $200-500 from CNC machine shops. Production runs are much cheaper but still do not leave much room for profit.

PM me if you wish to discuss this further.

^^^yeah that is a little steep for me (i was going for personal use)

when ordering (which i probably will in the near future) what does the "spyder cup - yes/no" option mean?

thanks for the info

oh, one more thing, when i buy your stuff, which trigger frame should i select, i have a sprint frame (superold)

[Xyxyll]

The Spyder Cup option is a promotion I was offering last year for participants in the 2007 Spyder Cup. The promotion is closed, but I haven't removed the drop-down box yet.

I haven't seen a Sprint frame in years... wow! The Sprint frame would fall under any of the Flash, AMG, E99, ESPRIT, Pre-'05 Imagine, or Electra drop-down options.

alright, thank you VERY MUCH Xyxyll

just out of curiosity, does anyone know what the activation weight would be on that sprint tigger? all i know is that it is pretty bad
the activation weight is measured by how much weight (in grams) it takes to set off the trigger, right, if so i can measure it myself

That's correct. The activation weight of the switch itself is rumored to be ~250g. This would be increased significantly if you use a return spring.

HOLY CRAP. You make an HES for Spyderframes??? I need this for my SpyderMag!!! Please tell me you'll be offering a package with this trigger and the HES kit. The second you have these triggers in blue, I'll be buying one along with the HES kit.
